Would a flash grenade kill insects/arachnids? If I threw a flash

Bump for interest

>>735336607
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.

>>735336607
if you throw enough in there they will die

>>735336607
Wouldn't a can of raid flea bomb be easier?

I want it to hurt them

Never thought of this until now, bump

>>735338411
hurry up and try it out and tell us the results

>>735336607
tannerite would be better

>>735336607

kill? How? Like out of shock?

"Ohmigawd guys a loud bang!"

also, where the fuck did you get a flashbang?

>>735339812
Shut the fuck up god damn

>>735336607
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

>>735339812
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

>>735336607
No. The eye structure is different.

>>735340107
how so?

Ask /k/ or /sci/

>>735340231

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.

>>735336607
Probably lol.

>>735336607
How do you have flash bangs. Are these things you can purchase easily?

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.
>>735340881
Tnx

im curious too

>>735340700
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.

>>735341065
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 /b/

>>735340700
Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>>735341217
Like physical force?

Lol they'll die

>>735341150
might blow out their eardrums but not kill them lmao

>>735341150
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

>>735341110
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...

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

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).

Years back a cop died around here from one

>>735341877
Just say in simple fucking words "would it kill them? Yes (or no)" than insert your stupid ass novel

>>735340885
This would be the best place to ask
>>>/k/
If you can't find an answer there try
>>>/sci/ but if you post it there they might just tell you to go back to /k/

>>735341946
It is pretty basic
>>735342109
The shock wave could. It's undetermined. Need to be more precise on the blast radius etc etc

>>735341150
Fucking retards
