Borneo is one of the world's richest regions, in terms of biodiversity
So biodiversity=wealth??????
These environmental whackos just hate people, regardless of how poor they are---all in the name of environmental religion.
ELF is already engaging in the next crusade.

If they want to see big ones, they need to check out either California's/Florida's State Insect.

"If something is not done soon to protect these areas, dozens of species could disappear before anyone knew they ever existed." Uh oh, this sounds like a new liberal ecoradical mantra. We are endangering things we don't even know exist. Now there is an ethic you can get your arms around.

That's an interesting thought. The disregard for human life in favor of rare species of insects, flora and fauna is apparent and disgusting.

Thanks but I wouldn't use your arms to hug the ethic or the bug. :-)

"At 10cm (4in) long, the newly-discovered cockroach is believed to be the largest in the world."
Here in Texas we call those "baby" cockroaches

Yes, we must prevent the people who live in Borneo from sharing in modernity.We have to keep them in third world status by cutting them off from their assets and room for growth. We must send the family planners there to sterilize all the women and save pristine Borneo to be a theme park for future generations of environmentalists and Left Elite.

ROFL! Somehow I knew there'd be a comment like that from someone in Texas. Ya'll probably have to use a lasso on the bigger versions of the insect.

My first wife was deathly afraid of fying roaches, and called them "Aeroplane Bugs!"

Spray those with starting fluid or wasp-killer with petroleum distillates, and they will die quickly without running around too much. You can smash them, but if you miss they will either take off and fly right at you, or run off somewhere. Then will you have to hunt for them.

That's right out of Jurassic Park. Hmmmm, I wonder if this will be the source of a new Michael Crichton novel.
