Default 5 Most horrifying bugs in the world

I don't know if half this **** is true, but it's ******* brilliant, best biology article i've ever read. rofl.

Kinda ****** scary too
http://www.cracked.com/article_15816...-in-world.html

A small excerpt for you
Africanized Honey Bee (Apis mellifera scutellata)

From:
South and Central America, the American Southwest

Why you must fear it:
You know how you can spot one of these? You can't. There is no physical way to determine the difference between an Africanized bee and a common European bee. None whatsoever.

You can, however, easily tell the difference based on their behavior. Regular bees will give you about nine seconds of being too close to the hive before deciding you're a threat and then attacking you. So it's pretty easy to just walk past them without any screams. And if you do get them after you, they'll consider you to be 'chased off' after about 300 feet.

Africanized bees do not roll this way. They give you half a second of being too close before they decide it is time to completely **** your **** up and empty the entire hive--tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of angry, angry bees. When you run, flailing and crying and soiling yourself while screaming "JESUS CHRIST I'M COVERED IN BEES," they will chase you for over half a mile.

This aint a bug, but and arachnid (spider). And it would send me in to a little girl screaming panic.. LOL. This guy can sink his fangs into a toenail and inject his venom..

Sydney Funnel-web Spider
Atrax robustus
Males of this large, aggressive, Australian species have the most toxic venom of all spiders. Painful bites can release a neurotoxin that could kill a person within 15 minutes; quick treatment with anti-venom can prevent fatalities.

They're all bugs, I don't care what anyone says. And I'm never leaving the house again.

Yep, a freind of mine got bit by a recluse about 15 years ago. The skin finally grew back but not the muscle and stuff. Left a big nasty dent in his ankle.. They can be mistaken for a harmless wolf spider so around here they all will die. Spider + me= smashed spider..

I dont understand how they left out the Tailless Whip Scorpion.

By far the most ungodly creature on earth, it gets to be the size of a dinner plate

The female Anopheles Mosquito (scientific name: Anopheles Stephensi) is considered the world's deadliest insect. This is because this mosquito is the sole carrier of the Malaria parasite which results to 400–900 million cases of fever and approximately one to three million deaths annually — this represents at least one death every 30 seconds.

Now imagine those Aids/Ebola mosquitoes had a 25 foot wingspan and can swing from above and impale you on thier neetle sharp death pike and pull you in the air, giving you aids, giving you ebola, and sucking all the moisture from your body only to drop a 10lb dried up husk that causes caner if handled!!!!!!!!!!

lol.... NICE FIND.

not to hijack, but that reminds me of something...

This happened while i was in japan.

One day i was rubbing my eye, it felt like something was in it. Finally i went to the mirror to see if i could see what was in my eye and thiere was this long stringy yellow thing, i grabbed some tweezers and pulled it out from my eye, it was wrapped all around the back. once i got it out i felt fine. Really grossed me out.

Anyways, It happened again, i noticed that both times it happened was after i fed frozen bloodworm cubes to my snakeheads (as said, this was in japan, snakeheads are perfectly legal)
Anyways, this time i went to the mirror and found a slight yellow string, i grabbed it with tweezers and pulled on it, one half of it had a clear film that stretched out and wrapped around the other side of my eye

it was at that point i realized that after handling the bloodworms and touching my eye it caused the outer layer of skin to deteriorate, tear, and slough off (i love that, slough off, how horried sounding lol)

It only happened one more time where i told somebody about it and they thought i was full of crap. So i did it intentionally to prove a point. The guy ended up vomiting.
