FUCK HORNETS seriously, i had to kill like 10 nests due to them being under some propane canister caps this summer
So what does it use to do this? Plant cells use chlorophyll, so do these use them too, a mutated form of it, or something entirely different? Some scientists think that chlorophyll isn't part of a plant cell, but it's a separate cell that kinda combined with plant cells, so maybe something similar happened?
Obviously we must destroy the sun
[i]We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. [/i]
When I read this, all I thought was "They're harnessing the sunlight for a night attack."
Heheh Fellas, Sollar Powered Hornets? Yikes, Looks Like The Women Are in For Some Trouble.. Those Damn Horny Bee's! :P
This is so awesome. I wonder what other animals can do this. [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Magistrate;26966046]Heheh Fellas, Sollar Powered Hornets?

I miss the spelling rating so much... so much red...
Only .3% efficient? That's almost as bad as North Korea.
This confirms my suspicions that there is no God, and makes me question the existence of Darwin as well.
Now all we need to do is figure out how we can make a super efficient synthetic version of this stuff they use.

Yeah I officially just became a night person, fuck that shit, game over man, game over.
[QUOTE=acidcj;26941724]It uses sunlight like a plant It flies like an animal Holy shit, It's a plantimal[/QUOTE] Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
[QUOTE=Spetzaz;26941009]Badass isn't the word I'd use. I think - terrifying maybe. Frightening perhaps. Awful is a word that also describes it well. Ghastly might do the job. Grim is something it is for a fact. Hideous - well, not really, but it's hideously scary anyway. Horrible without a doubt. Startling and heart-attack educing. Treacherous, shocking, horrid, creepy and scary also work. They are like angry terrorists with wings on steroids. [editline]*[/editline] I bet they'd suicide bomb me if they had the technology.[/QUOTE] This has to be the greatest post of the entire thread.
There's only one solution - blow up the fucking Sun, so these bastards have no energy at all.
I'm really surprised it isn't more efficient. Normally insects and animals with specialized evolutions like this mop the floor with our feeble technology. Spider webs are some of the strongest fibers known to man, the light of a lightning bug is nearly 100% efficient, but solar bugs are only 3% efficient? Maybe it's a recent evolution, and maybe in a couple hundred thousand years they'll be super bugs. After all if they're active when most hornets are not, that gives them an exclusive niche for them to exploit and thrive on, and it's in their best biological interest to evolve better solar energy conversion. It's interesting to think that we could be seeing a major evolutionary breakthrough in its infancy. But anyway I'm rambling. I hope there's some valuable knowledge to be gained from reverse engineering these solar powered bugs.

fuck hornets. honey bees can stay but hornets need to get out they suck
next up: Hawks.
