When you place a magnifying glass over an ant and the sun is out, the light from the sun hits the convex glass and becomes concentrated at a certain point. That point will eventually become hot enough to burn the ant.

How do you kill Mutillidae?
Just like any other bug. Step on it, but one stomp won't work it takes at least two times to be completely killed. But you can have some fun also like, burn it on a sunny day with a magnifying glass. But, I would rather keep it a study it, maybe for a project.
Can people eat ants?
Yes. Army ants can eat any thing in their path. Of course. Fire ants burn their enemies with flame-throwers, and then they have a lovely grilled-to-perfection human! They like to start at the feet, and work their way up. They also like to chew on the bones to strenghten jaw muscles.
Why do fire ants sting?
Queen ants live up to ten years although other ants live up to 45-60 days. An ant has two stomachs one in which it holds food for itself and the other one which holds food to be shared with other ants. An ant has about 250,000 brain cells in its brain. The outer layering on an ants body is called the exoskeleton. Adults can not swallow solid food of chew it so the rely on squeezed juice from the piece of food. Ants have a formic spray which can get ride of parasites and that is why some birds but ants on there feathers. Ants don't have lungs but they get oxygen from small wholes on there body and they exhale carbon dioxide. Ants produce glycerol in there mouth during the winter so that they don't get frozen.

Why couldn't the US get a big magnifying glass or something like that to keep the temperature warmer in the winter?

Why do objects burn when light shines through a magnifying glass?
well usually you need something stronger then a magnifying glass, but it increases the heat from the sun and burns something in its radius
How does a plant burn when a magnifying glass and the sun join?
If you mean to ask how a magnifying glass can use sunlight to burn a plant, then here's how.A magnifying glass focuses the light going through it so that it all converges into a single point (focal point). The light that would have otherwise been spread out over the area of the magnifying glass is "concentrated". Therefore there is much more energy hitting that one point than otherwise would be. The light raises the temperature of the plant to the point where it will burn.
How does a concave mirror focus light?
Concave mirrors used to focus light on a point, such as in a solar collector, would be in the shape of either a Hyperbolic or Parabolic section. The reason for the xxxxbolic section is that they both have focal points (foci?). any light coming into the mirror at any angle is reflected to this focal point. Think of using a magnifying glass to burn ants... you need to move the glass higher or lower to the ground until you get that bright dot of concentrated light/heat and then you can burn ants. The small white dot of light/heat is the focal point of you magnifying glass. Hope that helps..
How long does it take to burn a paper using magnifying glass?
It depends on the color, so i can't answer that.
Why does a magnifying glass must be held so that the light from the sun forms a circular dot to burn paper?
A magnifying glass forms a circular dot where it focuses rays of light from the sun. The focus of a magnifying glass is at a distance from the surface of the glass itself. So a magnifying glass must be held [approximately] perpendicular to the line joining the sun and the target, and at a distance from the target which equals the focal length of the lens.
How do you make a worm blow up?
Magnifying glass or cook it maybe, or just try to burn it in someway.
Could you burn an ant with a magnifying glass?
Yes. When the sun hits the convex glass, the rays are concentrated into one point. that point heats so fast that anything the beam hits, it'll burn.
Can you get a 3rd degree burn from the sun?
No, unless you are 'trying' to. The sun usually leaves first degree, but if you use a magnifying glass, it can.
