There's a 10m long 5m altitude worm in my lawn. I'm going to touch it :3

I read the whole thread, before I realized, that they are aunts, not ants.

I sure was a bit confused.

Oh man, as a kid I played with ants and I got pissed when one of the fuckers bit me. Also twice a year they show up at my house and I go to a killing spree. Imagine using the computer when suddenly you see an ant on your hand. You kick him off but then you feel something on your back. You turn your head and you are full of these idiots, run for some RAID and spray yourself. damn

NO! plz do...we won't bite ;D :D

None of you know shit about spiders.
Don't come to Australia...

Science lesson, Roman Catholics can fuck off.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutillidae
"Mutillidae are a family of wasps whose wingless females resemble ants. Their common name velvet ant refers to their dense hair which may be red, black, white, silver, blue, or gold."
"They are known for their extremely painful sting, facetiously said to be strong enough to kill a cow, hence the common name cow killer or cow ant is applied to some species."

When i was little i caught one of these and put them in a jar with the bug that Noire posted, the snakefly was dead the next morning.

Ants are quite nutritious and an excellent source of protein.

dobsonfly's on the otherhand are total bros, unless its a female those things bite hard. http://www.ent.iastate.edu/images/neuroptera/corydalidae/dobsonfly.jpg

Thanks Australia for making your continent even more dangerous.

ants are fine outside but when they finally get into your bed>>>>>>>>>>>ANTS MUST DIE :D

Cotton farmers

They kill ticks, fleas and other annoying types of insects that like to eat on plants and whatnot. Cotton farmers like them.

i think i have that game in my basement

ANTS IN MY PANTS!!!!!

whats this good that you speak of?

I live in west Texas, and ever since we've been in this drought, the fire ant population has exploded. It's pretty damned annoying when you can't take a step outside without having to worry about stepping in bed of them somewhere. They come up anywhere and beds can grow from anywhere to 1'-6' in diameter, sometimes bigger.

When you've got something that big with that many ants running amok around your place, it's time for an ant holocaust.

They do good things and all, but enough is enough sometimes.

Maybe Devas does. Maybe he likes having ants in his clothes and in his shoes and in his faucet and in his tub and coming out of his shower and over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go.

This is the stupidest thread ever ahah. How are they helping? By cleaning the floor? That's why mops and brooms and a bunch of other things are used for. They are just irritating and they get into your food. Nobody wants to make food on a counter covered in ants.

Even if said insects are helping them?
People can be so irrational... It's depressing.

It doesn't imply anything. It's just most people don't like the idea of insects crawling around their kitchen.

I used to work at a place where I literally killed about 5 black widows a day. Not even kidding.

"fluttershy is supposed to love animals!"

havent you ever heard the expression ants are just small dragons? no? because i made it up. and bugs arnt animals. you ever seen me tend to them? nope

fluttershy is supposed to love animals!

I really dislike spiders. There's a lot of poisonous ones in my area, so my killing of them is justified, right?

people said the same thing about spiders, then water spiders happened. likewise i hate those little buggers. i make it my duty to publicly hang them. i have like 500 gallows infront of my house, each one with an ant hanging there.

Lol, fake, ants can't breathe underwater.

The only reason I don't like ants is because, for some reason, they think that it's okay to come into my house during summer.
