A tip for those that live in areas with Green Ants. Green Ants live in trees, and when all the trees get flattened, they get very, very upset. Little buggers are all over the place since the Cyclone went through and biting first and asking questions later. And the Sugar ants are just as bad (although not nearly as numerous).

Don't know if we get the Green Ants down here in Adelaide, but the Inch Ants are a bugger when they latch on, the Sugar Ants are also a big problem here.. |

A new thread because the old one disappeared. I suspect it was closed because it wasn't very active. Darn you moderators!! ;-) Threads close automatically if nobody posts on them for a couple of months. |

Scientists discover ant species that fights enemies by detonating themselves, covering their foe in toxic goo. Woe is the insect that crosses the path of the Colobopsis explodens ant.Cheers. |

I don't want to put ideas into anybody's head, but if we combine Wiggo's post here with Dr Who Fan 's most recent post in the adjacent thread, we could have evidence of a very-close-to-perfected fightback by the combined efforts of the insect and plant kingdoms..... |

Exploding ants? Did the people in the "Middle East" learn this suicide tactic from ants? I was going to say that these ants are basically suicide bombers. ~Sue~ ![]() |

Scientists discover ant species that fights enemies by detonating themselves, covering their foe in toxic goo. Checkout the video in the ABC's article on these ants, showing slow motion video of another type of ant that are able to "jump" away from danger (right down the bottom of the article).

I'm going to take off the "(New)" part of the thread title. I've changed a title before. I hope I can remember how to do it. Later: Yep! Did it! ~Sue~ ![]() |
