Who is your vote for the most bad ass insect on the planet?
My vote goes to the Japanese Hornet  These things supposedly aren't aggressive toward humans, some people even keep them as pets. But it seems it makes whatever insect it comes across it's bitch. They are known to sometimes attack and kill Preying Mantis's. |

When I lived in a small fishing village south of NOLA called Jean Lafitte, we'd get thse things called Railroad Crickets once a year...
Maybe you can't tell by the picture, but these things get about 6 inches long and look scary as fuck. Basically harmless though. We would pick them up all the time. |

They said the black ones were poisonous to eat or something? Not that anyone would eat a grasshopper. |

Quoted: That's pretty darned cool, but my favorite insect by far is the praying mantis. Me too. I used to keep them as pets and feed them crickets. Second is probably click beetles. Used to play with them as a kid and found one in the sink the other day, that was about 1.25" long. Third the big solid colored bees with the white spot on the "forehead". We would catch those and tie a black thread, secured to shirt buttons, around the thorax like a leash. They'd fly all around you. Warning!! Don't try it with the striped ones!! |

My vote goes for the giant hornet. A few dozen of those things will take out a honeybee hive with a population
in the tens of thousands in a matter of hours. Badass.

Yep. Damned painful sting, like getting hit with a stun gun (BT, DT) and a hot soldering iron, at the same time. Voice of experience here. It will make you puke, especially when you get hit on the belly. That they hunt tarantulas makes them pretty bad assed. |
