The Hive: The Malthus Bug Thread

[Malthus]

I'm thinking of consolidating all my posts concerning bugs into one thread, entitled The Hive ...  Speaking of which, let's start out with this from Spain.

No trace of the owner of the house has been found ...

POLICE in San Sebastián de la Gomera have cordoned off an abandoned house after finding a seven-metre-long wasp nest.
Officers were called out by worried neighbours of the empty home in the island's capital and say the nest was in an indoor hallway and contained literally millions of wasps.

Experts have examined the nest, which is said to be 21'9" in length, and say the common type of wasp found in gardens would never normally build a nest of this size.

They believe it must be an invasive species of wasp which had migrated from Africa.

The Canary Islands are less than 100 kilometres from Morocco by water.

Authorities have been unable to trace the owner of the house.

Have they looked.... IN THE NEST!?

*duh-duh-duuuuuuuuuuh*

If I was the cop who did the initial investigation - opening the door to find *that* - I'd still be running.

Anyway, this could never happen in America. The local HOA would not allow it.

Though come to think of it, most HOAs are controlled by WASPs ...

It wouldn't happen in most of America because, well, winter sucks for wasps.

This is by far my favourite thread of the various someone's cats/kids/shitty politics threads.

Malthus's bugs > Barrister's kids.

Unless that was your garage I don't see why.

Though one wonders how a tarantula came in contact with a black widow's web. One has to suspect human agency.

Maybe in the Carboniferous, but not these days.

The owner is "missing". How do you know it wasn't a success?

On the other hand, why do you think he's a hero?
