My opinion on bug science:

Bug science to me is amazing, bugs are just wow. I mean, how are they so fascinating? I mean, spiders have 8 legs, centipedes have hundreds, millipedes have thousands. Then there's venomous bugs, non-venomous, then there's also pretty bugs, ugly bugs, and straight out of horror movie bugs. And if I was to have one giant bug that's 1000x the normal size, I'd never choose the regular house fly. Just read at least a few paragraphs and look at a few of the images. Now what would you never have as a 1000x giant bug?


Animal classifications:

There is much to go over, so let me start with simple stuff like bug classification. All living creatures are separated into five major kingdoms Animals, Plants, Fungi, Monerans such as bacteria, and Protists. These kingdoms are divided into phyla; there are around 20 in the animal kingdom. Arthropoda is the largest, and it contains insects, spiders, crabs, and centipedes. The phyla are then further divided into classes. Birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects all belong to different classes. Insects belong to Insecta, while spiders and scorpions belong to Arachnida. To further split the classes, scientists have put them into orders such as ants, bees, and wasps, which are Hymenoptera, and all of them have wings and can sting. There are also only 32 known insect orders. Bug science is also known as entomology, and the entomologists are the ones doing all this science here. While orders are pretty small so far, they get even smaller with families. Lions, tigers, and pet cats belong to the family Felidae; ants, similarly, are all in the family Formicidae. Families are even further divided into genus and species. Only animals of the same species can "mate together and reproduce." Taxonomists are the people actually naming them scientifically, and these names are all Latin and include the genus and species name.


Hymenoptera:

Formicidae:

Linepithema humile, otherly known as the "Argentine ant", is northernArgentina, Uruguay, Oaraguay, Bolivia, then is also southernBrazil and an invasive species, is able to be found in Mediterranean climate areas whitch include South Africa, New Zealand, Japan, Easter Island, Australia, Azores, Europe, and Hawaii, plus some other Continental United States these are extreme pests in agricultural and urban areas and commit harm to communities of native Arthropods, Vertebrates, and Plants all within their invaded areas.

Where onto the whats it called? paraponera clavata, aka "bullet ant", this unique species of ant has a extremly powerful sting whitch is most likly why it has the hence name of bullet ant, it inhabits humid lowland rainforests in central and south america,the meaning behind the scientific name is that clavata means bullet shaped and under current classification the bullet ant is apart of the gunus paraponera, paraponera translates to near ponera it has several native american, spanish, and portugese local names in different geographical areas one of the hence nicknames, and popular one at that is "hormiga veinticuatro" or the 24 hour ant, refering to the full day of pain it causes and the time it takes to kill a human, whitch for it to kill a human.

"Carpenter ants" here are scientifically named camponotus pennsylvanicus, and are in the subfamily formicinae and these ants are found litterly everywhere besides antarctica and certain islands, only true carpenter ants nest in wood consisting of galleries chewed out with their mandibles or jaws, however unlike termites they dont eat the wood they build there nests in, but instead get rid of what looks like sawdust outside there nests. They also sometimes hollow out sections in trees, they also commonly infest wooden buildings and structures, this infestation makes them a massive widespread problem around the world because this inflicts major structural damage, they also help in forest decomposition using their abilitys to dig threw wood, the genus also includes over 1,000 species. Thats not all they do though, they also farm aphids, and in their faarming the ants protect aphids from predaters whitch are usually insects. while they excrete a surgary fluid called honeydew, they get it from stroking the aphids with their atennae

Adetomyrma venatrix, is known commonly known as the "dracula ant" for one main reason. it drinks the blood of its children to survive making it critacally endangered, its also blind making it so it cant see whitch is why i beleive it drinks its own childrens blood, another thing about it is its long sting.

Eciton burchellii most known as "Burchell's army ant" completes complicated raids that are really organized, whitch is where it gets its formal name infact. this species is found in tropical jungles of north and central america. this species also contains 100,000-600,000 adult individuals in a colony at once. High heterozygosity was also found by people, but no cases of inbreeding amonst the ants, this happens because males fly to neibor colonies to breed with the neibor queen.
