 :o  Ahhh!!!!  Look at this monster!!!!

I have crickets making noise and keeping me up at night so I was searching for a way to get rid of them and I came across this:



Yes, this is real.  It's apparently called a Giant Weta.

$$$man, I hate that picture. (I hate spiders)

But my aunt, who lives in Australia, once saw one of those spiders. And my cousin saw a bunch of huge spiders while stationed in Afghanistan.

Certain Tarantulas you can grill or fry.

LOL.  :)) Every comment by Harry is about grilling something.  So, when's supper?  I can't wait to bite down a deliciously juicy grilled giant beetle!

The one about turantulas also had frying. They eat them like potato chips in some countrys.

I've seen really really big beetles, so those are not that surprising, and I know those giant tarantulas for a while now too; but that cricket in the OP is just too friggin big! I wonder if it got targeted by fallen druid. I've seen way too many crickets, I've caught like some 30 different species and I've never seen one anywhere close to this big..... I wonder if that photo is photoshopped. Or else maybe Drawckab has really small hands. And where do you live? Near the equator? Because only in those areas do bugs get really big since they don't have winter.
