I used to live in Wyoming, and I saw those buggers all the time when I was drinking/

In New Mexico I’ve heard they have giant bugs called “children of the Earth”. I don’t know if they are legendary, or real.

I know you’ve been *pinged* twice already, but I just wanted to let you know there’s no real reason to put this one out there-—I’ve already read it. *<];-’)

Jerusalem cricket - some people call them potato bugs, but they don't look like any potato bug I've ever seen. They've got them in Eastern Washington where I grew up - I HATE those things.

Those tater bugs are all over and they’re completely harmless. We have plenty here in SoCal.

Probably why there are no fossil picnic sites found.

Maybe it was a prehistoric ant. Maybe something else.

Ants are probably by far the greatest number of individual animals on Earth. They live everywhere, except the universe likes cruel irony.
No ants in ANTartica!!!
Amongst the plant or plantlike species, the greatest population is prochlorococcus. A marine micro-photosynthetic bacteria. Worldwide, in the oceans, there are probably 1-100 billion billion billion of them. Estimate are that they produce 20% of the oxygen on the planet.
And nobody ever heard or saw or thought of them until about 1978.
I wonder what else is undiscovered.

Correction: Almost 50 million 4,500 years ago, just before God flooded the entire world to a depth of 20' over the muntain tops, ants the size of hummingbirds roamed what is now Wyoming, a new fossil discovery reveals.

Hey noobie, keep your new earth bs on one of the threads in the religion forum.

The Jerusalem Cricket is not the real Child of the Earth. The real thing is an arachnid. They are reputed to make a noise that sounds like a crying baby but this website makes no mention of that.
Some people in NM are deathly afraid of them. One of my neighbors, when I lived in SW NM, picked up a cinder block and there were two of them living under it in the dirt. He freaked out completely. I didn't hear them make any noise though.

Let's see here, you are a stealth moderator, determiner of what is good or not good? No?
You know eastfork, I really thought you were smarter than that, I guess I had given your intellect to much credit, I promise, I won;’t do that again.

Being a noob how could you possibly know anything about me and if you do know me then you must be a retread, which is it?
To: eastforker
Yes, because we don’t tolerate differing views here. Right?
