POPSAnts who torture their prey...for fun! Tree ants (Allomerus decemarticulatus) in the Amazon contruct elaborate traps for other insects they feed upon. They build these traps from tree fibers reinforced with fungus. When an unsuspecting insect encounters the trap, the ants emerge from hiding underneath and pull the prey’s legs to immobilize them, almost like a torture rack. Then they dismember the victim and carry the parts off to the colony. This method of “drawing and quartering” allows the ants to dine on insects much larger than themselves.

POPSA freaky Huntsman spider This, unfortunately, is a real spider. I've never seen one this big (except for the Wolf spider). It looks like something from the film Arachnophobia on steroids.

POPSA very vampiric insect: the assassin bug! I thought this wasn't real....it sounds like an old school vamp. It's violent and sucks their prey dry (animals, other insects, a wide array--even humans!) They sound like badass mini monstrosities.*runs screaming from those dreaded, vile bugs*

POPSDelirium That's the title of this. Anyway, I snagged it mostly for the spiders.
