[Outtathesem]

Could you even walk without stepping on them? You should have filmed some footage with actual people trying to walk around.

[danaus]

@Outtathesem

In places, one couldn't walk without stepping on them. When driving into town, there was a continual crunching as the wheels passed over beatles. A sweet sickly smell hung over the town from crushed beetle.

[sunsknightstars]

texas always has bugs its like this all the time specaliy at night

[shadowpack1]

hear my words... a good bug is a dead bug

[BraveWomanCandy]

[Scythemantis]

Those are beetles, not roaches, and these are harmless creatures who only swarm like this to mate. Don't be a retard.

[Axedee]

[grenae07]

ill not freaked out that happen to me one time (im a boy i just borrow my sisters account)

[joshmb24]

Same thing happens to us in Arizona, except its a different species of beetles and here they take over gas stations. I wonder what it is they are attracted to?

[afiq360skatevids]

they are attracted to light, they like white light, they are active at night thats why they go to the light at night, they will go to the gas station or the street lamp.

[HYPOSTRIPE]

WOW I'D LOVE TO HAVE SEEN THAT

[thekitteninthetree]

[TheDriftking1]

kool

[kirbyfan000]

Wow that is sooo freaky you know what would be scarier? If you saw a human covered in them. Nasty!

[ike123459]

Wow!

[netook8]

It appears that this town missed a lot of storms!

But still had the hot humid weather

Severe weather usually kills the bugs(flooding rain drowns and hail smashes).

So the bug show that the town has missed the storms.

Q. Why is a storm chaser in a town with no storms?

[lllCockroachlll]

wow, cool... how big were they?

[netook8]

Iv'e senn this before when my town was overrun by bugs of all sized.

[IcedDragon1]

Any idea on which species this exactly was?

Did this have something to do with migration due to a storm?

[danaus]

They are ground beetles in the Carabidae family. They eat armyworm caterpillars but during the overpopulation, they were eating other insects and each other. I think the increased number of beetles was due to the weather that year. There were also large numbers of certain moths and other insects. Since 2001, I have only seen a few of the same beetles in Texas. 2001 was an unusual year.

[smokecoke]

mealworms that coooned from farms..positive

[flyboy1331]

Wow, I live in Texas, and I never knew about this!

[guitarest452452]
