ANTS RIPPED MY FLESH!

[defrog]

ITEM [via Neatorama]: Australia had a greyback cane beetle problem, which they tried to cure by importing cane toads. Now the toads have become an even bigger pest problem. The solution?

Meat-eating ants.

National Geographic has video.

Say it with me:

What could possibly go wrong?



DISCLAIMER: Yes, I know, I’m being silly and I watched too much giant-insect movies as a kid. And I know meat ants don’t eat humans like they do in, say, an Indiana Jones movie. Probably. I’m sure drhoz  probably keeps them as pets in the backyard.

Still  ... MEAT-EATING ANTS!

Off the bone,

This is dF

actually no - meat ants prefer the gravelly soil up in the hills. And they're psychotically belligerent if you go near their mound.
