Those ants really got a good thing going there. I wouldn't mess it up by trying to do the same thing with a human baby. They'd find it doesn't have the same perks.
Pah, it would take about a million ants to even aim a gun at me, much less fire it. And while they're busy doing that I sort of scoot off to the side and kick the gun out of their hands.
There's an advert for Carling running in the UK right now that features footage of starlings swarming (or possibly flocking). If starlings could be modified to go for the eyes of humans, it would be like a Red Arrow display of death.
Ever seen Arachnophobia? Spiders are not only fucking scary anyway but they can be deadly poisonous and even basic ones can get pretty fucking big. Not big enough to lift you up if you try to squash them but a flood of them coming at you? Yikes. Theyre' fucking fast too.
Plus lets face it, Spider-Man has been going how long? Those things are unkillable. Flatenned one once, it managed to have just flatenned itself out and come back for more once I took the flattening device away.
On a more serious note, the only animal I'm scared of is the disease carrying kind, probably because I live in a part of the world there's really nothing that can kill me, except for bears and they're pretty mellow.
The bird flu thing ended up fizzling, but that's one of those doomsday scenarios I can see panning out. Some god forsaken corner of the world where people breed some sort of super bug that's deadly to humans and benign to the animals, and it spreads like wildfire through some irrelevant population like sparrows or some such.

And every single spider explodes into a swarm of baby spiders when you kill it.

Was that in the film? Its been a while. All I know is I watched it as a kid and I've been terrified of Spiders since.

I don't think it did, but that would definately happen in the event of a swarm of deadly spiders.
Seriously. Schizophrenia-causing toxoplasmosis. Lancet flukes that cause ants to get themselves eaten so the fluke has a warm intestine in which to lay eggs. Roach-riding wasps.
And holy fucking shit if those tearduct-drinking-moths don't creep me the shit out.
Heinlein was wrong, the puppet masters aren't aliens, they're going to evolve from terrestrial parasites. And then we'll all be doomed.
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Personally, I'm scared of the army ants. Organized attack and defense formations, massive numbers, build temporary nests and bridges out of themselves. Now imagine that we suddenly release trillions into New York. Yeah...we'd be fucked.
The Siafu "Driver" ants of Africa should scare you more. They have far greater numbers (in upwards of 22 million per colony) than army ants and have actually been known to overwhelm cattle and even people, killing them through asphyxiation.

Macgyver fought off a swarm of army ants? Did he do it by getting together normal house appliances and truning them into a super powered flamethrower?
Btw, what level of General is he in SG1 now? And what are the levels of general, from lowest to highest? Does anyone know?
so, neo-cons?

They might not be able to wipe out humanity, but people there who had been bitten by one described it similar to a bad cigarette burn.
Dont even joke.

Nothing with huge, chisel-like teeth, basically. Marmots can also carry bubonic plague.
Queen ants can live up to twenty years . . . If you missed one, it could lie in wait, plotting.
Wasps are much scarier than bees because they don't die when they sting you. Also, they eat meat. Meat like YOU!

For the Swarm!

Nanites... FROM THE FUTURE!
They're invisible to infrared apparently. Or a bunch of those Polar-Grizzly hybrids like the one that got shot last year.

Please, Vampires are mostly incompetent. Of course, Slayers aren't much better, but whatever.

duh, people! we're fucked.
