Very funny!

Ok, I don’t get the point of Kent’s first bit with the giant bugs. There still are giant bugs in the Amazon. There’s tarantulas the size of dinner plates, quite literally, with a leg span of about a foot. They call them “bird eaters.” Arachnophes need not look. And while not exactly 2 feet, the Titan Beetle is the size of a person’s hand. (Again, don’t click if large bugs creep you out.)

Seriously more creepy, I just found out that Titan beetles don’t eat. All their food they eat (which we still don’t know exactly what it is) as larvae (that we’ve never seen) and then pupate into their stomach-less beetle form just to reproduce and then die.
