This is acomplete joke. It isn't avery urgent announcement!

Check your google maps / google earth to see what's so shocking!

Actually, Tarkya found this first. But that's just our little secret.

yeah. earwig or thwip. Whatever it was, it's squished now.

http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Cat/0/Number/398126/page/vc  is the Google Earth community thread on it.

What's unknown if that it was caught on the lens of the camera used to create the Google Earth image, or if it was caught on the actual photograph that was used to build the Google Earth image. Personally, looking at the way it got squished, it was probably on the map or picture used to generate the Google Earth Image.

Yeah, it's standing on the map, so it looks like it's rampaging.

This one's rather rude, but if you're 15 or over, check out the fields in Billingley in the UK.

Coordinates are:
53°32'19.10"N
1°20'48.55"W

I used Google Earth, I'll just check if Google Maps works too

I wonder if that name above it is the name of the guy who wrote that.

Probably because you're comparing hornets to honeybees, which would probably do well in any case... I really don't think they're that agressive. I don't know all that much about bees though, so I can't guarantee anytihng I say.

Japanese hornets are hueg-like-xbox with wings. I've seen a few of these slaughter an entire hive in a matter of hours. They raid the hives for the honey and the proteine-rich larva. It was on Discovery or something.

Locusts? Ah, this brings me back to my days as Anubis, standing by as that trouble-maker Moses gave the pharoah a taste of his own medicine. Of course, our locusts were bigger.
(Watches as a comet strikes and obliterates the huge arthropod.)
Our locusts were tougher, too.
