Gigantic Insect Found in China Will Give You Nightmares

Quote from Wikipedia "They are not venomous, but possess an irritating, foul-smelling anal spray as a last-ditch defense."

I don't know what the big deal is. We have these in America, as well. This is a bit bigger than any I've ever seen, but not by much.

Can someone get a Deathwatch kill team to deal with that thing, by the Emperor that thing is horrid...

OT: Damn, guess China's another place I should take off my "to visit" list due to giant horror's from when the earth was young and the old one's walked it's soil.

As long as they don't get the cazador treatment, I'm fine with them existing. They may continue to exist far away from me.

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. :)

The U.S. nuked Japan and it didn't get rid of the Asian giant hornet. why do you think nuking china will get rid of this insect?
