Many moons ago I was on holiday at the Lido de Jesolo, Italy, and a cockroach the size of a bull's testicle landed on my Diadora training top. It terrified me, and only the help of a passing waiter saved me from certain death.

Wan of these bad boys the other week near the apartment

well, a few years ago I went to a little place on the west coast of New Zealand called Australia.

I saw a praying mantis like my friend gas (****) and that was a whopper but the biggest insect was a Hercules Moth

Also the biggest spider I saw was a Golden Orb spider. (****ing massive guise)

I just wish to point out to my learned friend that a spider is not an insect. :grin:

If you can imagine a large, land-dwelling, seahorse-like insect with wings, I used to saddle-up and fly one of these magnificent beasts to primary school ever day. Sadly, by the time I started secondary school, I was too big for Pegasus to carry. We decided it made most economic sense to batter him to death with a shovel - a Spear & Jackson no. 5 if I recall correctly.

Spear & Jackson didn't release the number five till the late nineties.
