Top 10 Giant BugsBy Chelsea Hedquist, HowStuffWorks.com
 Creepy crawlies can make people squeamish, even when they're small enough to get squashed easily by a shoe or a rolled-up magazine. But if the fear factor multiplies as the bug's size increases, then the giant bugs on our list will surely leave entomophobes and arachnophobes shaking in their boots. It can be tricky to determine which bug should ultimately take the prize for size, as there are a lot of variables to consider, including weight, length and surface area, so our list includes the big winners in every category. Since comparing giant bugs is a bit like comparing apples to oranges, the final ranking isn't based on a sole factor but on the contender's overall impressiveness when it comes to being a giant of the bug world. Read on to see which creeping and crawling invertebrates made our list. Check out these insect pictures from Curiosity Online. |
