Finally, a justified use of a tennis racket as a fly swatter.
goddamn cazadores always stay on the roads or they'll fuck you up
looks like a stag beetle got its head put on a dragonfly.
Scratching China and any mountain off my places to visit list

I think it looks pretty cool.
We get dobsonflies like that guy in the states as well, except they're only like one third the size of that one holy fuck. Cool to see a giant one. Those are some fucking massive jaws.
just another reason to never go to China
I wonder if it's friendly.

Should they ever come to Europe, I wonder if I could persuade the local police that I need a Flakvierling for pest control.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;45456500][I]And[/I] it's aquatic? What the fuck?[/QUOTE] No longer can we look to the undersea base as refuge. God help us
That's awesome! All it needs is a stinger on its bum.
I'm so glad I live in a country where I can live in peace with the harmless insects and animals
[QUOTE=Complifused;45456740]I'm so glad I live in a country where I can live in peace with the harmless insects and animals[/QUOTE] tbh I wouldn't exactly call wild boar 'harmless' so there's that. Don't forget the adder that crawled out of the heath, stung a knight, and caused Total War to erupt between King Arthur's forces and those of Mordred.
[QUOTE=Complifused;45456740]I'm so glad I live in a country where I can live in peace with the harmless insects and animals[/QUOTE] I looked up 'dangerous animals, UK' and got an article that cited spiders that aren't capable of killing people, cows, foxes, and seagulls
