Flesh-Eating Fire Ants

There’s no “I” in team, especially in the ant world. Cooperation helps fire ants reproduce, take down prey, and even strip bones clean.

Subterranean Termite Colony Swarming for Reproduction

Termites swarm when the weather gets warm. As you can see in the video these termites have wings. Normally termites do not have wings; termites only grow wings when they are ready for the colony to go into reproduction. This video shows a well-established subterranean termite colony swarming from a crack in the concrete outside a residential home in Anaheim, CA. Many homes built on old orange groves will have a tendency to be infested with subterranean termites because the land was previously used for farming oranges. Entomologist Laurie Jo Jensen of The Termite Guy in San Clemente, CA says that she’s able to determine that this is a large termite infestation because their mud tubes are emerging more than 7 to 10 feet away from any wood source, indicative of a large colony. In this video you can see that the wind is blowing so hard their little wings are being all flung about by the mighty Santa Ana gusts. Because of a bad Santa Ana wind condition on this day, instead of flying right out into the gusty wind, the termite swarmers were crawling. By walking instead of flying in such harsh conditions the termites better their ability to find a mating partner.

Fight Fire (ants) with Fire.

I got stung by some fire ants so I gave them a taste of their own medicine. Music is from the Gladiator soundtrack.
