Tawny Crazy ant
Youβve heard of computer bugs and viruses, yet there is an insect that loves your electronics enough to crawl inside and ruin them. The crazy ant can ruin your laptop or tablet in no time. When a scout finds a computer, it climbs inside and is killed by the electricity. When it dies it releases an alarm pheromone and soon you have the entire colony trying to kill your electronics. |

Toe Biter
It bites. If you come across a really big beetle around your favorite fishing spot. It might be best to leave it alone. If you are wondering how big this bug can be, some toe-bitters can get to be the size of your IPhone. If you mess with one, watch out. Their bites are considered to be one of the most painful you can experience. |

Tongue-eating Louse
The name is disgusting, and so is the critter. The Tongue-eating louse is not an insect; it is a crustacean with a love for tongues, fish tongues. It eats the tongue of fish and then becomes the new tongue. Imagine having a crustacean as your tongue and you may begin to understand what a fish goes through. |

Aha ha wasp (Aha ha)
The story behind our funniest animal name will definitely make you laugh. Howard Ensign Evans, an American entomologist, traveled around Australia in the late 1970s, collecting wasps to bring home and study. He mailed some to his friend and colleague, Arnold S. Menke. Menke looked at the wasps and identified a couple of new species. He exclaimed, βAha! A new species!β but his colleague, Eric Grissell, responded doubtfully, " Ha!β. Menke turned out to be correct, and the wasps were newly identified species of the Sphecidae family. He named the first wasp Aha evansi to honor his friend Howard Evans and the second one Aha ha, as a joke. |
