    Noticed this when I got home from work this evening. Anyone ever seen anything like this or know what it is.

    It looks like a ****ing alien or somethin. IMAG0106.jpg

    I'm half afraid to take it off in case it comes back to life in my hands.

    Thought it might have been a dragonfly alright but never seen one that big - the pics don't really do it justice.

    Anyone else get some big insect roadkill lately?

    Ya, I nailed a hundred meter long butterfly. Fair hassle getting the car out of the pool though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Highly toxic insect, if you touch it the insect's blood will secrete onto your hand. It carries hundreds of eggs which will soak into your skin, travel up to your brain where they will hatch.

    Then you'll have hundreds of lovely insects crawling out of your eyes, ears and have moving bumps under your skin.

    :pac:

    RIP jim Dragonfly

    He had a wife and kids until the resession hit, took to the drink. Wife threw him out after a particularly bad week on the Dutch Gold. He spent the next two years wandering the streets, selling his body for crack until one day he met Joe Duffy, Joe gave him a fiver and he turned his life around. He was running a very succesful car washing company until very recently....


    I told him to quit...he just loved it too much...
