Those pacu must have really good aim, considering how cold our lakes are.

Pacu were the last of the Legal piranna style fish sold in washington in the 1990's . Most look just like red belly pirannas and the teeth are just as sharp . they were said to be veggie fish but not with those chompers =O

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

They could appropriately make illegal dumping of those fish punishable by castration. Unless, of course, it is a woman doing the dumping. She could be punished by Asian hornets.

When I lived in Arizona an insect was drilling a hole in our oleander tree. However it was not producing saw dust; these were good sized chips coming from the hole. Upon further investigation I found it be a huge bee. I tapped the oleander and it attacked. Like a Huey gunship. My only weapon was a badminton racket. I hit a nice forehand and staggered the beast in mid-air. Ahh. Only mid-air stall/stun! It comes back for more. A fierce backhand put it away. Formidable foe! Tom

Are these for real? I just read on CNN news today that they are invading our state from Canada looking to munch on honeybee's. Some of them being two inches long?!

^ Yep, they're for real. Here's the WSDA post on them: Asian Giant Hornet Inch and a half long! eek.gif They could decimate the honeybee population. We beekeepers have a hard enough time with yellow jackets.

I saw the article too. Those things look terrifying. Worse for the honey bees though. Yikes!

When I grow up I wanna play.

The tolerances are amazing. The hornet can survive temperatures up to 115 F, the bees 118, so they bring it up to 117. Talk about a finely tuned machine!
