world's largest insect

[Jake]

This thing may be bigger, but I'll put one of those japanese giant hornets up against his ass any time.

What is a Giant Weta, you ask? Well, it's a gigantic cricket-like insect that's also the largest insect in the world. It's as heavy as three mice and even bigger than some birds.

A small but highly efficient killing machine—a hornet two inches long and with a wingspan up to three inches—lurks in the mountains of Japan. The voracious predator has a quarter-inch stinger that pumps out a dose of venom with an enzyme so strong it can dissolve human tissue.

I don't know who the stupid fuck is with it on his hand.

I don't want to ever see an insect of that size. If I did see one, I'd kill it. 'Nuff said.

Living in the southwest you see various big tarantulas and tarantula wasps all the time. Kids keep them(tarantulas) as pets, they can live for years! :tongue2:

What's wrong with owning a dog as a pet? Maybe I'm just too traditional, but arachnids don't fit my bill of a pet.

The Giant Weta doesn't bother killing the spider, he just starts fucking eating him.

Check out the bird-eating tarantulas in South America (AKA the Goliath Birdeater)...they can span the size of a dinner plate.

So he's the honey badger of the insect world?

And the Pitcairn Island spiders are super freaky as well.
