What is the biggest insect you've ever seen?

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.

Praying Mantis

end of fred

 

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 went to a football ground in the north of England - I saw 40,000 cockroaches some of whom were 6 fooot 4 and wearing red shirts.

 

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

 

I never said it was you spongo

 

That being the case we probably need a separate thread about spiders.

 

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.

I saw a Hornet in Germany once, ****ing thing had a saddle with a mouse on its back.

 

I thought that was in France.

 

I'm calling in all my old jokes Dan, you owe me.

 

The giant ants in Them.

They were well scary man.

 

****ed the Queen once. She accidentally revealed her forked, insect tongue when we were bumping uglies.

 

A Queen ****ing a Queen.

How apt.

 

I ****ed your ex-wife last week. I hope you didn't mind me borrowing your step ladder.

 

Insects don't have tongues
