    It appears to be a dirty cola bottle sweet. I wouldn't eat it but I don't know what you're getting worked up about.

    Commonly known as a Volkswagon.

    Thats the Indian Money Feeders. ;)
    Staff at an Indian bank have been blamed for allowing termites to eat their way through banknotes worth millions of rupees.

    It's a Spanish wasp fly, if they land on food you later eat, their eggs will grow inside your brain and you will become crazy but because of the position of the brain these eggs grow in, you will think you're sane and become an preacher/evangelist and make millions, congratulations to you and your family.

    Probably because its an Irish cockroach.

    That's not too scary looking.
    Every summer our apartment gets a few of these. :( They are only a couple inches long but they have spidery legs.

    Have you logged into the "Are You Drunk" thread yet?

    Took me bloody ages to find but it may be called a Shiny Chafer.
    Their shells can be different colours. It's the closest thing I could find.

    Bloody hell I must be bored.

    Well I'm off to poke my eyes out. And people still claim there is a loving God. What kind of fuked up god makes that thing?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭abouttobebanned


    OP it serves you right for posting in AH. Despite your rookie error, I'll take the high road and give you the genuine answer you crave.

    It's a "nicaraguan death fly" and I have no idea what it's doing in this part of the world. They're generally harmless unless provoked (taunting them with cash may be considered provocation). They're bite could kill a baby or a dog but not a fully grown human man. However, a bite combined with a kick and a sting would kill you in about 45 seconds.

    I advise locking it up in a tank of some kind and feed it it's natural prey of badgers and rats. Whatever you do don't release it into the wild because it is multi-coital and can pro-create with almost any creature it decides not to kill. We could be surrounded in nicaraguan death dogflies within weeks.
