  • ant leader: whats his power level??

    Ant goon: its over 9000!!!!

    Leader: 9000?!?!?!?!!?!?

  • i once found a abandond nest of a wasp its still on my porch

  • Ants that steal larvae, wasps that spit water ballz, costa rica!? my god...what a wonderful world ...

  • "the larva are carried away and the wasps are helpless" nope... cause when pissed off paper wasps explode with the force of a 22 gigaton nukeclear blast covering 400km in distance, so those ants can say BY BY

  • aliens will be eat us lol

  • I saw one of these on my front porch i ran for my life

  • ...And now I feel itchy.

  • one of those bitches almost stung me i think its the queen

  • lol at :23 it looks like an eye ball

  • I remember as a kid....this giant ant colony existed next to this giant wasp nest. I used to disturb the ants colony just to watch them make a mockery of the wasps.

  • This narrator is fucking hilarious

  • This is a childrens show?

    I'm sure kids could handle someone narrating like a grown up, when I was a kid I used to love David Attenborough.

  • 0:10 Moustache :D

  • This is spaaaaaarta... Nuuuuuum Nuuuuuum Nuuuuuuum...

  • Look at those ants Zerg rush!

  • zerglings lol

  • I love how big of a spit the wasps have for their size :)

  • If I was an ant id wanna be the fucker with the big jaws

  • The first time a bee/wasp/etc. stung me (And the only time so far :D) was when some dumb paper wasp landed on my leg. I thought it was an itch, so I scratched my leg.

  • i love this narrator - the only whimsical narrator that i can tolerate.

  • mandibles, thats a cool name

  • Damn nature, you scary!!!

  • I am glad they are endangered. I am apiphobic.

  • like if this video made you paranoid that there were bugs on you

  • wow

  • When I look at wasps, I feel as if I'm looking at demons, or possibly even little satans. Those things scare the shit out of me.

  • DAMN NATURE U SCARY!

  • >army ants

    >paper wasps

    WHOEVER WINS

    WE LOSE

  • @DSFARGEG00 i know right We fend off paper wasps but get stinged and we burn army ants but they could get to us in our sleep

  • dAMN NATURE !

    yOUR SCARY !!!

  • wow.. i thought the wasps would win :P

  • @wolfj171 omg spoilers!!!

  • Fuck the army ants, paper wasps are one of the least aggressive wasps in the world.

  • Wasps can attack by complete surprise if disturbed! If anybodytells you different, tell them where to go!

  • ANTS! ANTS! ANTS! GO ANTS!

  • Army ants = Wu-Tang

  • Right when it rained in the video i got it cold D:

  • i pwned the ad with F5 >:D

  • GENERIC AMERICAN VOICE OVER!

  • those ants are more dangerous than the wasp

  • I just saw some weird wasp i have never seen before it was pitch black with red wings and it was at least 4 inches long and its flying right outside my window its pretty big considering its only one lol.

  • lol they come by my house yesterday and i get a macth and my Axe twist and burn them to fuck

  • i have pet paper wasps they are very docile and dont sting me

  • i got stun by this wasp

  • @xkillerjack did it hurt

  • @zombiedude1411 it hurt for a week it was swallon it was so big itchy

  • Got stung twice yesterday by paper wasp's and my finger is swollen and tight today. Have wasp spray now, so I have a surprise for them if they come back.

  • poor wasps...

  • @TheBoredguy99 You ever been stung by these? You'll loose sympathy for them, I promise you. It's worse than any bee, caterpillar, or ant sting combined.

  • lol pwned

  • there is a type that has yellow,red,yellow bands on its back, separated by thin black bands. These are very poisonous, stay away from them. Even if your not allergic, they can create a sting that can cause severe swelling and trouble breathing. The red and black ones are relatively harmless.

  • Thoes kind of wasps nest are all over here and ALL IN THE Louisiana swamps, and their nests get enormous!, as well as dangerous! (See my videos!) :D

  • a fuckin wpaper wasp landed on my shoulder yesterday (didnt even sting me it must have been retarded lol) and i looked over and i saw it sitting there and i was like OH FUCK and i swatted it off of me and it flew across the room i stomped on it like 4 times. PS i have a phobia of wasps 0.o

  • Cool story, bro

  • @Rockerman235 You know that they wont sting you if you don't scare/threat them..... and what do you do? you stamp on it.... it could have gone crazy and stung you.... STUPID

  • @leepailong123

    don't scare/threaten them, as in don't walk within 15 feet of the nest. At noon, or hot parts of the day they fan their nests, & during this time they watch for anybody moving. I've been chased just for being within 15 feet. Usually they'll fly away if you swat, but sometimes they'll look to sting where the arm stops movement at the shoulder.

  • a paper wasp landed on my shoulder yesterday and just sat there lol i fucking flippedc out and knocked it like 20 feet P.S i have a phobia of wasps so ya.

  • Wow, a wasp got into my house yesterday. I totally owned him with a can of raid!!

  • wasps got owned. go ants

  • I hate army ants because they always bite me if I go outside.

  • shame, i hate wasps. so good on the ants

  • Funny name. All wasps are building their nests from paper.

  • awesome i love flying insects

  • i got stung by one today. it wasn't even that bad.

  • depends on where it stings you. if it is between your fingers it will hurt like hell, the skin's too thin. in your forehead it will also hurt.

  • try bleach and water in a spray bottle and it kills them

  • so is actually them that invented the fan....

  • those are some dedicated parents and uncles and aunts

  • 1:20 he's wiping his mouth xD

  • Kind of a crazy idea, but imagining bottling the paper wasp spit and selling it. How filtered is it? im sure it would take a lot of time. Imagine how long it would take to fill a thimble. Im sure you could find someone to buy it. like i said *crazy* idea O_o

  • theres a buyer for everything haha....EVERYTHING!!!xD

  • Not crazy. If you can genetically modify the bug to produce more of the stuff then maybe it is possible to get a lot of quantity. Otherwise find the gene that is responsible for the production then try to incorporate it in say another organism which can produce it faster and at a more rate then it is also possible. You have a great idea.

  • I was thinking the same thing. Considering people drink coffee made from beans pooped through certain breeds of cats..

  • Thats fucken disgusting, I hate cats and their shit stinks horribly, now how can anyone drink poop beans from a catxD

    Its like saying Im gonna eat the undigested cornnuts from my dogs poop ~D: <--Barf

  • Just looked it up: Kopi Luwak Coffee "..is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet"

    "Kopi Luwak is the most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between $100 and $600 USD per pound, and is sold mainly in Japan and the United States"

  • i wouldnt the last time people interfeird and try to make more money we ended up with killer bees im glad im in england

  • Mix DISH SOAP with WATER in a SPRAY BOTTLE and SHOOT them and they should suffocate fall on the ground and die :P

  • or anything with Acetone, My Dad sprayed a couple with a WD40 Can before and it kinda burns the Exoskeleton like Acid to them.

  • They use their wings as fans to protect their nest! My goodness, that's cute... er, I mean smart. (I love buggies.)

  • clever wasp!use wing as a fan lol..

  • i want my bug spray

  • dude my phobia fo shure...someone get the electric bug zapper

  • RAID!!!

  • What are you? A big gay fish?

  • it would be cool to spit like that

  • I wonder if they recycle their nests.

  • ick i hate wasps

  • hard working

  • do paper wasps sting

  • hell the fuck yeah, they do! my house is infested with those fuckers.

  • spray them

  • Spray is bad for the environment, and doesn't take care of the problem. It's best to find the nest, have it removed, then prevent a possibility for wasps to find a way back in.

  • fight them mortal combat style.

  • i'll go chun-li on their ass.

  • fuckin a lol

  • *^^* win

  • @alliebear2009 How do you get rid of them? They go in the sidings of our house, and I skate in the backyard and they keep flying by me,what should I do.

  • @alliebear2009 Fuckety fuck fuck! AAAAaargh fucker fuck!

  • WOW

  • These guys sure don't get it easy

  • WOW

  • WOW

  • I love you NG!

  • I want you to die. Will it come true?

  • That's hot, i wanna try that =)

  • those insects have so much energy to do their jobs. unfukinbelievable. Do they eat?

  • COOL!

  • OMG! they suck the water outa the nest, and spit it over the side..

  • Maybe it's like the cameras used in labs and stuff. You ever seen cells through a camera? On TV or something, well maybe a similar cam. Or maybe they have an exclusive deal with GOD.

  • anyone know how they get upclose?

    what kinda camera lol

  • I always flee at the sight of a wasp. You'd be a fool to stand your ground.

  • man,

    life is hard for those animals.

  • tuff life

  • that's why noone uses cardboard, use plastic instead you dumb wasps xD

  • yeah but plastic production is harmful to the environment and carries a greater operating expense. pulp is a readily available resource.

    so it is the wasps, you see, that are setting the example of being green in an ungreen world. they were listening to the president's address.

  • Plastic production doesn't hurt the environment anymore than you breathing does.

    Isn't it funny how there is almost mass hysteria about global warming and yet the globe hasn't warmed?

    And before anybody brings up polar bears, there are 5 times as many of them today as there was 25 years ago.

  • definition of a kerbie - a person who says something overly serious in response to someone else's joke.

    thanks.

  • LMAO xD

    and no, there are less and the ice is melting faster than ever and it's a fact.

  • Really? What is a person called who tells jokes that are so unfunny as to be unrecognizable as a joke?

  • i'm not sure. but i know the word for a person who can't recognize a joke as obviously being a joke. it's "faggot".

    wear your name badge proudly, fatass.

  • no, it's "retard"

  • See, just like before you are wrong again.

    "faggot" - A disparaging term for a homosexual man.

    - A bundle of twigs, sticks, or branches, bound together.

    - A bundle of iron or steel pieces to be welded or hammered into bars.

    ... nope.

    Nothing about joke recognition..

    And since I have no idea what you look like, I can't call you something like 'fatass'. I do however feel like I have enough information to comfortably call you a 'dumbass'.

  • it is UNNNNNBELIEVABLE how you take something so little so far.

    is it illegal to have a sense of humor where you're from? it isn't fun arguing with somebody who gets deeply deeply offended by everything i say. get a girlfriend.

  • I'll take it as far as I need to.

    You came at me with the attitude. You want this to stop, you stop it.

    And yes, it IS illegal to have a sense of humor where I am from.

    And I haven't been offended by anything you have said. I was simply correcting your inaccurate comments.

    I am having a great time!

  • diddo.

  • LOL

  • You are so cool because you can say "faggot" and "fatass".

  • lol

  • Comment removed

  • well hello, mister resurrects-arguments-after-the­-fact, i've already conceded that humor is taken differently for different people, which is obviously why you took my use of the word "faggot" in the literal sense. did you know that in places other than your country, "faggot" can mean just about anything negative? you obviously didn't, but you know now, so add that to your memory bank.

    and i'm not offended at being called a tosser. it doesn't have any significant meaning where i'm from.

  • Comment removed

  • oh my dear fucking goodness.

  • oh my goodness, you pwned me

    i got owned by a n00b how would i feel...

  • you must not get laid Im I right?

  • no.

  • thats so cool!

  • i wish that the wasper could evolve some natural chemist protection against those ants,,,it's not fair,those ants could eat anything,while the wasps can't help about being preying at....-,-

  • fuckn spamer

  • If evolution is true, future generations of paper wasps will evolve into making waterproof paper nests.

  • Don't be silly.

    You couldn't possibly predict what path evolution will take a creature. They could evolve into a new species of ant, larger mandibles to defend their nests, make their nests in different locations, go extinct, or any combination of those and many other possibilities.

  • You're talking about ants, while VNTuongLai is talking about Paper Wasps...

  • No, I am talking about paper wasps too.

    Ants evolved from prehistoric species of wasp. And it is entirely possible (though unlikely) for a segregated group of paper wasps to evolve into an ant like creature as well.

    The whole point of my post was to show that evolution does not say that an animal MUST take any one path.

  • wasps are insects and thus stupid. they can only do what has been pre-programmed before. it reminds me of the hobbits they found in Indonesia and they theory is they evolved small because of a lack of food. "Oh dear, there is not enough food here hey lets pre-program our own DNA so we are smaller and need less food in one generation and call it evolution!".

  • Your understanding of evolution is what is stupid here.

    An animals intelligence does not determine if it can evolve or not. Plants evolve.

    And yes, I saw the documentary on TV about the hobbit as well. If I recall correctly they only found maybe 2 individuals and could not conclude if they were really hobbits or just regular humans with a genetic defect.

    And at NO TIME did they ever claim evolution happened in a single generation.

  • If you insist on debating the validity of evolution, I would be happy to do so, but you should really learn more about it so your arguments can be based on something besides flawed conclusions drawn from false information.

  • Hot damn, those wasps could hock some good loogies. xD

  • i shoot paper wasps at people in school

  • lol nice idea

  • Scissors beat Paper yet again.

  • Poor paper wasps.

  • weak wasps wow then an army of yellowjackets come then kill the army ants!

  • damn. nutted
