There don't seem to be any good, illustrative pictures of it, which is frustrating.

Land crabs are freaky!

Is that a coconut crab? Those things are right out of a nightmare.

Speaking of giant arthropods, see an Australian huntsman spider carrying a mouse up a wall: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/oct/24/australia-giant-spider-mouse-carry-horrifying-impressive?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+AUS+v1+-+AUS+morning+mail+callout&utm_term=196316&subid=7133936&CMP=ema_632

Always a little sad when a vertebrate loses out to an invertebrate, IMO.

"yes, i'm having problems with mice in my house. i was wondering if you have anything that could help?"
"well, he have these huntsman spiders..."
"you know what, mice are fine. i'm good."

My parents just went on a holiday to Lord Howe Island, off the Australian coast, and got to play with the Lord Howe phasmid, rarest insect in the world (a kind of gigantic stick insect): http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/blogs/creatura-blog/2014/06/lord-howe-island-stick-insect-phasmid

The long-term plan is for rodents to be eradicated from Lord Howe Island and the captive population of stick insects reintroduced, with a species of owl to keep their new population in check.

Hopefully they control the owls by introducing gorillas.

I never knew that a mantis's death cries sound so much like a human infant's, it's horrible.

Bianca Smell BO (Leee), Saturday, 17 December 2016 23:42 (nine years ago)

I never seen a mantis cry
Til I seen that mantis die

(Seriously not watching that video tho)

We have a pair of french doors we haven't opened since last summer, opened them yesterday and there was a huge parasitic wasp nest in the gap at the top. Lots of huge paralysed spiders full of baby wasps came raining down on me. not what I wanted.

Worth following the link to see the entire lineup of weird sea creatures. More than a dozen. All creepy as hell and fascinating.

the sand striker/bobbit worm. I think H.R. Giger died of a terminal orgasm he had when he saw this footage.

Bobbit worms may be accidentally introduced into artificial environments.[4] In March 2009, the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay, Cornwall, discovered a Bobbit worm in one of their tanks. The workers had seen the devastation caused by the worm, such as fish being injured or disappearing and coral being sliced in half, but did not find it until they started taking the display apart in the tank. The worm was nicknamed "Barry".[5]
