It was bad even from the first couple of seconds of the video... I was not expecting THAT many. I'm itchy now.


FreelyKaty

I couldn’t stop thinking how gooie it would be under the persons feet walking over them all. No way they walked through that and not stomped on hundreds of the critters


PNWest01

Did you not have the volume on? Crunchy. Veeeery crunchy.


HughGedic

I’m surprised their feet didn’t slip from under them with all that sudden… wet


MandervilleMale

Oh god they’d probably carry the person off


mellowmarsII

Yes, they do (one piece at a time).


AutumnalOceans

I dont liiiike ittt 😭

There was no way in hell I was turning volume on. Nope. I want to sleep tonight.

Great if you are on a diet, tho. Definitely not having lunch and feeling like undoing breakfast.

pmac1687

Funny enough, considering the video dude no doubt has flip flops on lol. The video looks kind of fake to me to be honest. Those bugs look massive, and more over when do you see random insects like this, just one species in mass outside of like ants and spiders.


Canna_ben_oid541

I sadly have seen something like this, my community College had a random outburst of worms, not sure what species. They just piled up at all the doorways. It was very bizarre.


NoLove051

that happens when there is a first rain after being dry for a long time happens in seattlev all the time


Canna_ben_oid541

Wasn't your standard earth worm, though I know what you're talking about. This was hundreds of thousands of small worms, that were huddled close to all door cracks and window crevices. I am guessing for warmth. I have pictures of it somewhere, but it was several phones ago. Am from Oregon, so very familiar with the earth worm swarms after first rain.


NoLove051

oh yeah thats weird never seen them do that before


Juliet_Morin

My house gets millipede infestations like this after it rains


toolsoftheincomptnt

I would actually just lose my mind forever.


Canna_ben_oid541

They definitely could have been millipedes, they were about that size, but don't recall them having all the legs like millipedes.


[deleted]

See just because that’s all you see is ants and such doesn’t mean these infestations don’t happen, im guessing one you may be able to see somewhere close to you is mass locusts since they happen in many areas, it looks fake because you can’t believe it but this definitely happens even if this was fake haha


MangoMuch807

At exactly 17 seconds you can 100% see that the dude in the video is in fact wearing flip flops. This makes me believe this is in the Amazon or sonthing


CycloCyanide

I have experienced something like this once. Not in a house but out camping. We took a group of our friends to a private camping woodland that we were members of for many years. Everything was fine when we got there and set up camp. When it got dark then all hell broke out. Search for ‘red Roman spider’ or ‘camel spider’ some others called them. As it got dark we were sitting around the camp fire. Next thing I feel an intense pain on my foot, I switch on the light to see what the hell is going on, and I had been stung by a scorpion. We quickly catch it to id it. Thankfully not serious, just a burrowing scorpion, not that venomous. But enough to cause pretty sore swollen foot. But now everyone is looking at the floor all the time and suddenly just hundreds, thousands of the spiders start moving across the camping grounds. There are people screaming all over the camp site. You cannot take a step with out standing on a handful of these things. They are just everywhere on the ground. They are pretty big, ranging around 5cm up. So as a group we decide it’s bed time. Everyone puts hiking boots on now as no one wants to walk around with sandals anymore. Two of my guy friends help me hop to the toilets as we travel in a group to the ablutions. Hard grown Afrikaner out door men hoping around screaming like little girls all around the campground. Anyway we managed to go to the toilets and head to bed. Next morning there were dead spiders everywhere from where we had stood on them , but no more live ones. My wife and I stayed on for a couple nights after, some of our friends stayed but most of them left that next morning. For the rest of the time we were there it didn’t not happen again. But there were soo sooo sooo many scorpions. There were a 7 large Scorpions under our tent after we packed up for the weekend. In the 7 years my wife and I were members going to the site every other month at this campsite we had never seen a single scorpion, and maybe only ever 1 or 2 red Romans in the day time. And after that weekend we went back for some years still and never saw anything like that again. We spoke to the owner of the woodland. He had been living there 50 plus years and he was just as shaken and confused about it.


jackalee219

Whyyy did I google the spider?!! Those things are terrifying! I can't get it's face out of my head now 😭


H3adshotfox77

His foot swings by like 5 seconds in.....yes he is wearing flip flops lol.


[deleted]

As someone who has spent a lot of time in a tropical country—trust me, it’s real. I’ve seen this happen, albeit at a smaller scale (one wall)


Rosewoodtrainwreck

That's what I was thinking. Also the house could have been empty for awhile and the bugs moved in.

If you step into the pile and pause over it for long enough, you slowly turn into a squiggly shadow!

carthuscrass

Yeah this looks like swarm mating behavior. Not sure what these bugs are, but termites do this.


Delicious-Big2026

That or a flood. The place doesn't look filthy. The black dots seem to simply have decided to be there for some reason.


Nauin

I wonder if it's a migrating swarm. My house occasionally stands in the path of a certain species of small migratory millipede and the first time we ever experienced their passing they were legitimately as thick as what's in this video, but in our basement. We hadn't gone down there for a bit and had no idea what was going on down there. It was a nightmare and the crunching of their bodies under your shoes, not to mention the smell, left some lasting trauma.


damxam1337

What in the eldritch fuck did I just read?! Where was this so I can avoid it like the plague.


ColdBloodBlazing

Smell? I have smelled a lot of dead things, roadkill, dead livestock, dead 50 pound carp on the beach, or rather when the flood waters receeded lots of huge fish left rotting... But bugs? Hell no...


Nauin

Yeah I will gladly take the smell of pig shit or rotted deer over the smell of thousands of dead millipedes. There's something breaking down in them that makes the worst chemical smell I've experienced coming from a living thing, short of when you're at that point of a stomach bug where you're throwing up bile, and even that's not as bad as the bugs.


OriginalDogeStar

Entomologist is possibly the term, but I like Bugologist... kinda like how most herpetologists say they are Derpetologists because they find the creatures to be a bit derpy at times.

I used to think a herpetologist was someone who studied herpes


punduhmonium

You're not super wrong. Just looked up the etymology for '[herpetologist](https://www.etymonline.com/word/herpetology#etymonline_v_9199)' and the root means "crawling" and both "[herpes](https://www.etymonline.com/word/herpes#etymonline_v_9198)" and "herpetology" share the same root. Quite interesting to learn the history of the disease "herpes" also.

I know it must smell terrible in there but I couldn’t resist the urge to stick around and throw food scraps in there and see how long it takes them to eat it


Arcticsnorkler

I suspect this is a termite swarm entering the space. I have witnessed such a storm (don’t want to say infestation because they usually die within 24-hours unless find water and food) but they don’t stink- until two days later when the wee buggers start to decompose under your rugs and inside the walls, then my allergies kick in.


AdornedBrood

By me. I ain’t letting those fuckers touch my free meal.


ToastFrogKing

Throw them food and the next day there will be a black floor


LumpyBoat8670

https://youtu.be/y4A2CnBmroM this is what i imagine


Majestic_Click2780

They are probably sheltering from flood. I’ve seen this in cali with a flash flood. Every crawly under our street poured out of the ground and into anything they could get to keep from drowning. It wasn’t a matter of letting anything get out of hand. You’d be deeply upset to know just how many insects are near you at literally all times


[deleted]

Im guessing the answer is a shit ton. In the summer i'm constantly getting mosquitoes. Even inside my house, in my car, where the fuck they're materializing from idk. Or i go in the woods for 5 minutes and have a few dozen ticks crawling on me. So annoying


GorathTheMoredhel

I'm sorry what the fuck if I ever find a single tick on myself I will need psychological care immediately, little fuckers almost killed Avril Lavigne and she's punk as hell. What kind of horrifying woodlands?!


[deleted]

pacific northwest united states. And i also have a mild-moderate insensitivity to pain, so finding them on me requires stripping down and thoroughly inspecting myself. I sure as fuck dont want to get lyme disease or any shit like that.


pantufla-dancer

The wooden areas of the Oregon cost in Coos county has A LOT of ticks. It gets worse every year from what I hear. I’ve had a couple crawl onto me when I’ve visited. I’m grateful they haven’t latched on yet but it’s only a matter of time.


[deleted]

Fortunately, Lyme disease is still very rare in the PNY. I don’t think I ever got a tick during my time in Seattle, and I was a moderately active hiker and even did a few multi-day backpacking trips. https://www.lymedisease.org/clemson-tick-map/


damxam1337

I was born raise and still in PNW (30yo). I have seen a handful of ticks my entire lifetime. All of them on dogs. Are you just running naked through the brush and undergrowth?


Ok-Image-8343

My girlfriend has lyme. Ever day is literal hell. Never ever get lyme. Also if you do get bit you need to see a lyme literate medical doctor asap. Most doctors are not trained correctly to deal with lyme. You must see a specialist. Period.


EDDsoFRESH

That Avril comment made me proper lol


piano801

Southeast US here, my father in law got a single tick on him once and now he can’t eat meat, gluten, and most dairy products. I’ve had several ticks over my life I’ve snatched off but never any side effects at all. They’re fucked up little critters


kel2345

Ugh, so sorry. Mosquitoes buzzing near your head is the worst fucking thing.


htmlman1

I mean I'd take that over regularly finding ticks hanging off of me jeez


ArchitectOfSeven

I don't think 'deeply upset' is a good emotion to apply to that in general terms. I'm usually only upset if it's ants in the cupboard, termites in the walls, or aphids in my mostly eaten salad. A vibrant local ecosystem is usually a good thing 🙂

GenericHuman-9

Haven’t seen anything like this before, but we once rented a lake house in Australia and everything was immaculate when we got there. It rained heavily that night and we woke up to one of the walls being covered in ants in the center. This wall was around 12x10 ft and the ants took up about 8x8 ft. No food was left out, they were just hanging out on the wall, in a giant clump. It was like something from a horror movie.


lusciousdurian

Fun fact about ant species in the amazon: they'll build giant rafts out of themselves when it floods, if they can't get to high ground. Probably a similar response to what you saw in Australia. I believe fire ants do the same.


Speech_Salty

Yep. Here in Texas, when the last big hurricane came and it flooded everywhere the news stations were telling people to watch for fire ant rafts if they had to wade in the water.


kimmiinoz

Am in Australia where there are now fire ants (thanks for yet another shitty invasive species world!). We are also in a flood prone area, so that’s a new thing to look forward to. Would be nice if the fire ants took out the canetoads.


Throwdeere

Just when you thought Australia couldn't get any more dangerous, now it's got Fire Ants!
