National Geographic!!

juz watched a documentary abt insect wars..army ants are so formidable...during their "swarm raids"...over a hundred thousand army ants will march together...and can kill over 250 thousand creatures!!! some of them much bigger than they are and are feared predators themselves...like scorpions and mantises...shld the ants have to cross gaps in the ground...they will form living "ant bridges" for their compatriots to cross...teamwork!!

ohh and hanging on one single claw...the army ant can support a string of 100 other army ants...equivalent to one human carrying 3 armoured vehicles!! wow!

and giant hornets...could be up to abt 8cm in size...juz 30-40 of them are able to kill 30 over thousand honey bees in a few hours!! killing machines!!

im so fascinated...i love to watch documentaries abt insects...they are usually much more interesting than animals....more more more~!!
