U.S. Media Inventory of Horrors: The Threat of the Eight Horror Species in the World



1. Zebra Mussels Are Clogging the River

If an organism to an annual output of one million eggs, then what happens? Shown in Fig.

They have their own name, at least forty thousand of them called Dave. They follow the ship of Russia and enter America, attacks and the rapid spread of the major rivers in the United States and the 5 Greatest Lakes.

The sailors called them "marine members of Congress."  As long as it remain stationary in a hard object for more than 20 second, the zebra mussel will be tightly glued to that stuff.
In 1989, one of Michigan's cities suffered without water for three days, because these mussels like cement pipes block was watertight.




2. Bovine Rays Are Row Seaside



Million of the bovine rays is taken by the photographer Florian Schulz.

Since the human caring to help over-hunting of their nemesis (shark), the number of bovine rays is increase to a great number.

Serious losses in order to encourage the slaughter skate and the recovery of the shellfish industry, the Virginia state government have a new idea-make the skate into menu.

3. Water Chestnuts Is Killing Lakes

Source New York State Government official websiteThe late 1800s, Harvard University, a botanist decided to import some of the European water chestnut to their own private garden.
Couple of years, the plants grow to the Charles River, Massachusetts to the establishment of base areas, and there embarked on the road to conquer the world.

Water chestnuts sounds like there is no attack power, but in fact be regarded as the Roman Empire in the plant. Wore leaves densely covered every inch of the waters, even the boat go through. Sunlight is blocked, can not shine into the lake bed, the original local plants so can not survive, the associated water fish survive. The deaths of these water people excited and nervous and worry to think, water chestnuts is to eat the goods.

4. Termites Have Destroyed A Major City

Ordinary nest of termites is usually a year to eat seven pounds of wood, while the nest of termites can eat about 1,000 pounds. Termites at the end of World War II came to the United States from Asia. They are thirsty in order to find water to drink even cement, plastics and can bite through, so often caused by burst pipe. Taiwan termite nest can be up to number one million. And termite nest in Taiwan, once established, never wipe out.

Break in the dike five years ago, a man named Gregg Henderson, professor at the University found the gap of the dam is filled with Taiwan termite tunnels. After the flood, he went back to check the London Avenue Canal levees, and found two severely damaged, and 70% of cracks in termite holes. This will enable Taiwan termites become known only to the real insects to destroy a major city.

5. Oak Lined Moth Caterpillars To Take Your lungs 

Oak lined moth caterpillars look harmless and even cute, but 63,000 poisonous hairs all over their body so that they become the crawling creatures nuisance. Just a gust of wind can their weapons into the air, cause asthma, skin abrasions, allergic shock, the loss of civilization and even to death. Talking about is not fragmented a few caterpillars. After hatching of this species can form a huge and will be moving blanket of death.

To make matters worse, global warming so that they spread faster and farther. European spring warm weather prompted them to extending its tentacles to the northern region, to expand its newly established empire. British doctors have been warning people to carry emergency breathing apparatus, because these caterpillars may lead to severe asthma.

6. Stinkbug Smoked Turn Your Home

Since then, it in 34 different states has become a world-class agricultural pests. By the way, called the "bug" infestation, rather than pull the golden stool of the beetle, I count us lucky.

Stinkbug predators, most likely because there is no biological "bugs" out to the menu, so we looked around there is nothing to suppress their numbers. This is why they continued west spread almost completely unobstructed bite all over the United States orchard. Most pesticides on them does not work, scientists are considering biological control and the introduction of the parasite to abate their numbers.
But even more disturbing is that these things summed up, they want married, get married and have children of your damn house.
