Ok, so I'm sitting here working on the computer and BAM! I hear something hit my window. I look up and here is what I see.

Then the bastard starts tapping on the window like he wants to come in.

Normally bugs don't bother me, but this guy was at least 10" long. EEEEwwwwww....

One of the guys I play poker with was driving home one afternoon, this week. He had his windows down and, as he rounded a tight curve, one of these big bastards flew right thu the window and smacked him in the face. Wound up with his car in a field and a load in his shorts.

Swears that he thought it was a bird.

God damn, I would have shit my pants if that thing got near me.
You didnt have any birdshot handy?

nice specimen, you should have tried to capture it in net, then preserved it with a coating of "shellac" and mounted it on a plywood board as a trophy.

They GET that big here in the states?!?! I figured that bugs here in NA were tiny compared to the ones I was used to seeing in the jungles growing up in SE Asia.

We get big ones here in Pensacola this time of year. The ones I see are usually orange and black, but still pretty freakin' big.

They do get about that big in Florida. Last time I was there I killed several of the evil bastards with a pellet gun at my aunt's house. I can remember the ants (not to be confused with aunt) eating a HUGE dead one in hours. Next time, maybe I'll bring a suppressed P22. You can travel with a can, right?

Now to go buy one...

After the huricanes I wasn't sure about Florida but after seeing the size of the grasshoppers there now I'm sure - I'm not going to retire there.
