Would a flash grenade kill insects/arachnids?

If I threw a flash grenade into a shed full of spiders or into some place full of flies, would they die?

Bump for interest

No, but they would be fucking pissed off

Pretty sure they wouldn't die.
Just don't be a faggot and use HE or incindiery.

I say yes. The pressure of the blast would concuss all the critters brains into a pink mist.

if you throw enough in there they will die

Wouldn't a can of raid flea bomb be easier?

I want it to hurt them

Never thought of this until now, bump

hurry up and try it out and tell us the results

tannerite would be better

kill? How? Like out of shock?

"Ohmigawd guys a loud bang!"

also, where the fuck did you get a flashbang?

Shut the fuck up god damn

The ones unfortunate enough to be where it lands would die from the force of the initial blast, all the others if they were in range to see the light emitted would likely be blinded.

> kill?How? Like out of shock?
Fuckin retard

there's a blast force for one, also the explosion would be reasonably loud even for us, 170-180 db, which would shatter our eardrums if close enough, and would probably blow bugs apart

No. The eye structure is different.

how so?

Ask /k/ or /sci/

It's the brain that gets blinded or immobilised. I'm sure op wanted us to good up flash bomb, which hehe clever. But no and yes invertebrates are more blind and they process information slightly differently. It'll just frame and won't really blind.

Try birds.

Probably lol.

How do you have flash bangs. Are these things you can purchase easily?

This post makes no sense

...

Kek checked.

Ask wut?
It's simple biology

Make a fucking bleach bomb, it's fun for the whole family.

A good friend of mine who is an entomologists will be delighted to hear that there are those who are concerned about the welfare of insects exposed to bright light. My experience has been similar. Some fly away (and still are coherant enough to fly properly) or they do nothing. I suspect they are fine.
Tnx

im curious too

I read the like 10 times. Makes less sense every time

A flash bang would kill a person if it land directly at one's feet. So yes it would.

Theres an explosive force...not just a flash of light

...

didnt realize what little sense this post makes the first time i read.
always re-read Sup Forums

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Like physical force?

Lol they'll die

might blow out their eardrums but not kill them lmao

no it wouldnt, an infant maybe. the fucking point of a flashbang is to incapacitate

Flashbangs are expensive, where would you even get one? Just use tannerite or something

Insects see visual information at frequencies of interrupted light
far beyond what the human eye can detect. I do not mean the
wave length of light they can perceive. That range is also much
broader than what we humans call the 'visual ' wavelengths of
light (many insects can see in UV and infrared wavelengths as
well). They do not really 'see' in a way that is anything like the way
humans see the world.

Insects can actually see the flickering of incandesent lights,
which go on and off at 60 cycles per second. Most humans can
not detect flash frequencies faster than that which is why your
computer monitor is set at 60 cycles per second or faster. We
see a continuous image even though it is blinking on and off.
Insects can see flickering images into the range of thousands of
cycles per second.

Just imagine what our brightly lit incandescent nightime world
must seem like to them. Or our seemingly contiguous movies.
Blink, Blink, Blink, Blink, Blink...

We are the real aliens in the insect world, beaming completely
unatural types of illumination all over the place.

No but you would probably blow up your shed because you're a fucking idiot...

Yes 10 yeas ago in a biology class

Why don't you just burn down your shed OP? Why do you always have to be such a little bitch?

Nope not reading this

The possible harm would take place depending on the distance from the light source, its intensity and its duration. Most of light sources emmit IR radiation and this would be responsible of a burn sensation on skin temperature receptors of the insect. Try to put your hand very tight to a flash (be careful) and you may probably feel a short but intense "burn sensation". I don't mean that flash "fries" the insect, but what I mean is that whenever the insect is too close to the flash, can feel some kind of instant warming. This would be a reasonable explanation of scaring in some cases. Intense or continued flash lightening may cause some degree of dehidration or drying on insect skin tissues.

Another explanation of getting scared from light flashes would be a "surprise effect", only dangerous if the insect suffers from heart disease (joke). During a storm thousands of insects are amazed by nearer rays, but milion years of evolution have made insects to be used to those natural flashes. Thus a nocturnal photograpic flash would have the same effect on them (insignificant).

That's what I think about it (regrets for any language mistake, regards from UK).

I actually learned something on Sup Forums today. Thanks, user.

Years back a cop died around here from one

Just say in simple fucking words "would it kill them? Yes (or no)" than insert your stupid ass novel

This would be the best place to ask
If you can't find an answer there try
but if you post it there they might just tell you to go back to /k/

It is pretty basic
The shock wave could. It's undetermined. Need to be more precise on the blast radius etc etc

Fucking retards

Use a can of tag and light it with lighter, spray on bugs, they go bye bye

>Stop explaining your answer
You're what killed this site.

fuck that. record it
