The Hurdia victoria ranged in size from that of a large shrimp to double that length and, with eyes to see and teeth to shred its prey, it would have dominated the food chain in a period when all animal life was underwater [and very small indeed].

A foot and a half long according to what I’m reading. Not a bad size for a Canadian cockroach. Might take a whole can of Raid to put it down.
