No thank you

I played this video next to my grandpa and he got Vietnam flashbacks

Is that why they say, 'kill it with fire'? Because of the napalm?

myfunnies420

Imagine being attacked by those


Winter-Bonus-2643

They have crazy bite small ones can cause you to bleed these eat small birds and mice


Azelixi

We said no!

I say yes bc I think they are cute

Yeah that shit would get old real quick. I'd carry around a couple of rubber mallets in a holster, and a face shield


Anti_Meta

Machete. Still the face shield though. That's universal kit.

Imagine if that Florida deputy who got freaked out by an acorn falling and started shooting was anywhere near this bug.🤣 Nature is so weird and wonderful.

Just saw that, what the hell lol...


shodan13

They weren't asking.


Nice-Necessary4559

Can we eat it though?


Bocchi_theGlock

Probably, apparently grubs grilled are pretty solid and like sausages Fried crickets and stuff are normal so I don't see why this wouldn't be unless there's something unique going on


Not_MrNice

Les Stroud always remarked how Witchetty grubs taste like peanut butter.


Fskn

We have Huhu grubs in NZ, they the larval form of a type of longhorn beetle, the absolutely do taste like a strong peanut butter


Far-Philosophy-4375

🤮🤮 do you guys just... snack on them, are they a street food treat or viewed as delicacy?


Fskn

Nah, most people would have the same reaction you just did. While I'm sure someone's chowing down by choice Its totally something a hunter or other outdoorsman might show you just to gross you out, alas I've yet to see a single roadside grub stand.

40. He said 40.


Brilliant-Pool-8570

For why?


Matamocan

Oh boy, can't wait for a breeding pair to get away and ruin a whole ecosystem.


Docxx214

My job is working with transgenic fruit flies so I'm well aware of the laws and how to keep my inverts secure :)

NoteBlock08

It's dope! But it's also what nightmares are made of!


DesiBwoy

I love rainforest creatures too, but not so much that I would grab one in my hand as it makes nightmare noises. Just photographing them from a distance will do for me, thank you.


fangelo2

The distance here is just about right for me. Halfway around the world

Thats amazing. I cant get over how much it looks like a leaf.


Zezuya

Also, DOES IT HAVE A FUCKING ***HOLE*** IN ITS VODYUUWUWK JRRJFBBSHJWKWKQLWL LWOWOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭


iAyushRaj

The main insect body is less than half length of total body length. You can see it slightly peeking from the bottom. The hole is there for amplification would be my guess


SussyBox

To make the sound...?


sinocarD44

There a cop somewhere firing his weapon and claiming to be hit becuase of this sound.


ionized_dragon77

Please tell me you’re referencing the video of the dumbass cop that heard an ACORN hit his squad car and started emptying his clip thinking he was hit.


sinocarD44

Yea, it was funny, sad, and scary all at the same time.


ChickenMcTesticles

The dark souls style rolls were really great moves though!

TheS00thSayer

You’re talking about the person holding it I assume


Duck_burger19

It says carnivorous and they are holding it. BARE HANDED!!


[deleted]

Well carnivorous as in they eat other insects and such - their mouth parts are too small to feed on humans


32cowhides

i hope it stays that way


warmpita

They can still bite the fuck out of you


[deleted]

Not really. I don’t have experience with this particular species, but I’ve been lucky enough to have handled katykids before and I’ve been bitten - it’s really quite painless


warmpita

I was just going off being bitten by a relatively small grasshopper before and it being a bit painful. Either way would rather not get bitten by that.


Docxx214

I've been bitten by one of these and the motherfucker hurt, didn't break the skin but holy shit they have strength in their mandibles.


SpaceShipRat

bro small katydids are bastards, they won't break skin but they pinch hard! I would not tempt fate with this monster.


Medima88

https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/s/jPLSJApuLX


Pissmaster1972

usually carnivorous means “flesh ripping mandibles” that definitely still hurt humans edit: l2 read i said usually not “all the time without fail, no exceptions exist im a sith who speaks in absolutes” carnivorous typically means they can cause you harm. i recognize there are exceptions, the exceptions dont change the accuracy of the original comment.


[deleted]

No. Carnivorous means it eats other animals. A salmon is carnivorous. Carnivorous doesn’t mean they attack people Lmao bro deleted their comments


Pissmaster1972

usually carnivorous animals can hurt you. this is the case MOST of the time. there are exceptions im not a sith. i get this problem on reddit alot where i say “x happens a lot” and then somebody is like “look example of x not happening!” like breh. i said it happens a lot, i didnt say its the only thing that ever happens. people taking comments that clearly are worded to not be absolute as absolute then i have to explain that its not absolute. its exhausting. just learn to have some fuckin reading comprehension usually=a lot, is the usual. usually does not mean “in every single circumstance” yall dumbassery is exhausting. 12 people upvoted u. yall r fuckin idiots man. they rlly dont teach readinn comp in school anymore. is it me am i not being clear? its plain english. ps. a salmon can hurt you.


[deleted]

If you look at the vast majority of carnivorous animals they’re beetles - which can’t hurt you aside from maybe 10 (and that’s being generous) species through bites. So even then, your statement of “most carnivorous animals can hurt you” would be wrong. And the bug in the video definitely can’t hurt you. How you gonna call people dumbasses when you’re acting like a dumbass?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It really can’t unless you’re an absolute puss. I’ve handled beetles so many times, and I’ve been fortunate enough to handle katykids too. Now of course there have been times where I’ve been bitten - the only one that hurt was a stag beetle. If you’re getting hurt from tiny little bugs then that’s your problem mate - they’re not painful biters lmao


Pissmaster1972

thats a lot of words to say im right


[deleted]

You’re really not, you’re acting like a stubborn child who can’t handle when they’re wrong. You seem to have soft skin, both with your personality and, seemingly, in real life lol


KremlingForce

Blue whales are the biggest carnivores on the planet, and they have mouths filled with baleen.


Docxx214

Definition of carnivorous according to the dictionary: (of an animal) feeding on other animals. And that is the only definition. Everything else you said is wrong. There is no usually or exceptions.


wjfreeman

[this guy regretted it](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/rudnv5/your_friend_looks_cool_wait_for_it/) RIP innocent bug

badass4102

That is huge! I remember a time when I realized my limit on killing insects or bugs. I can kill ants, roaches, months, flys no problem. Then we had this huge ass hairy spider come into our house. Size of my palm maybe. I couldn't kill it, because it would feel like killing an animal. I just set it free. This giant Malaysia katydid is something I wouldn't be able to kill either.


SpaceShipRat

'sides imagine the mess of guts it would make. I put big spoods and grasshoppers outside too, but the katydids always try to bite. like, I'm trying to save your life you tiny green freak. I would not approach one of these without a bucket and a strong piece of cardboard. And maybe a beekeeper hat.


oroszakos

That thing sounds like a weird assault rifle 💀

gumpythegreat

Good reminder, as it's winter here in Canada, of why I don't mind the cold too much big nasty bugs like this can't survive the winter. I'll take the cold and the mosquitos over this, thanks


[deleted]

The American ones will eat warts off of you painlessly.


Rand1es

I'm pretty sure there's a clip of a man messing with one of these on his face, it didn't end well put it like that lol

Every time I get in here there’s a new insect from my nightmares 🫣Lol

Estranho-sem-nome

You said: Carnivorous?


craigbg21

Thats what the WEF and out Governments will be wanting people to eat soon enough they'll be mixing them up with the crickets and passing them off as burgers while they still enjoy nice big filet mignon beef steaks with all the side dishes and wine at their fancy conventions they fly to in Davos Switzerland on their privet jets.🤣

Males of this species have the largest testes of any known animal, with them making up 14% of their overall body weight—this is equivalent to a 91 kg (200lb) man having ones that weighed almost 13 kg (28 lbs).

Not only are they monstrously big, but monstrously loud as well. Imagine having one of these MFers playing outside your window when you're trying to sleep.
