In response to the Exploding Ant post - yes, I'm gradually working my way back, hopefully I won't have too many other reposts -

Globitermes sulphureus, the exploding termite

Comments

[rosefox]

Aw, they don't explode in the video!

[drhoz]

sadly no. couldn't find any globitermes videos, so you got mandibles vs. glue guns instead

Curses.

[rosefox]

Very sad.

While we're on exploding insects, don't forget aphids (just in case they haven't been posted about already).

Okay, your posts are good but you're posting a crapload D:
Try and keep it to one per day? Please?

[drhoz]

ok. I'll try and contain myself for a week. Can't guarantee i won't comment a lot tho :D

[blasphemusfish]

You can comment to your heart's content :D

[nekroskoma]

[drhoz]

ants. hence the ant family Formicidae :)

Sad at no exploding termites in the video :(

LOL at no termites injured in the making of this video, they are just good actors.
