Um, I don't beleive that's real for a minute. It looks way too nose heavy for it to be aerodynamic. But then again, I have a healthy mistrust of any story that starts with "in China" or "a man in China." If this turns out to be a hoax, I totally called it.
It's not a hoax. We have them in America. Living near open waterways, I've seen them occasionally. I even once stepped on a juvenile Dobsonfly (called a hellgrammite) in my kitchen. In bare feet.
Yeah. One of those, about four inches long. The nightmares only lasted a few weeks.[/quote]
Holy free-holy, I'd have been screaming like Ned Flanders if I found one of those in my kitchen. Though I'd have had to base my assumption on ignorance seeing how we don't get those [s]insects... eldritch abominations[/s] Corydalidae here in Britain.
Damn, now I got to try and get that hell-blasted image out of my mind now. :)
