Comments on: The Crabs of Christmas https://www.damninteresting.com/the-crabs-of-christmas/ Fascinating true stories from science, history, and psychology since 2005 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:26:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: JarvisLoop https://www.damninteresting.com/the-crabs-of-christmas/#comment-75108 Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:26:17 +0000 https://www.damninteresting.com/?p=917#comment-75108 This reminds me of an article that I read about termites. Several decades ago, scientists noted that termites were increasing in huge numbers worldwide and that they were particularly flatulent. Ordinarily, flatulence is not much more than low humor but not this time. In this case, the scientists claimed that the termites’ flatulence was quite likely the cause of global warming.

After googling it I found that it is acutally a new species called polyrhachis sokolova which usually nests in mangroves… how they came to live in our bathroom Ill probably never know… So, yup they’re definetly taking over! O-o

I have a thing against bugs and buglike creatures (OCD, on my part). That would be one long panic attack.

Acronyms and abbreviations ftw (for the win)!
