A benign but foul-looking bug that fills the niche of mice in New Zealand is the Weta. Those things can get up to 8” in length. Giant ants got nuthin’ on ‘em!

Oh, jeez. The dreaded Japanese swallow-hornet. Just a few of those things will destroy a honeybee colony. They are bad news.
That dude must be dead cuz no way I’d let that thing crawl on me like that!

Waitaminit. If that Ant’s related to the German Ants, are they cousins (however many times removed)? And what about the Uncles? How come no one mentions the missing Uncles?

The Green River Formation has great fossils, esp. of flies and other insects. A really fine limestone matrix which allows for great preservation of details such as wing-lines, legs, fish/scales/eyes, etc.
