    Six-Legged Giant Finds Secret Hideaway, Hides For 80 Years

    http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/20...s-for-80-years

    saw this on another forum, figured bug people would think it's cool. Story about bringing back a population of giant insects that were thought to be extinct. One thing that I thought was amazing was the video of the hatching.... hard to believe it fit in that egg.

    That is very interesting.

    Personally, I'd love to help re-establish a wild population of them, but then again I'm weird and I can see most people NOT wanting giant bugs running around all over the place.

    Very good read! I like how pro-bug it was for an article. With all the anti-reptile feelings floating around, it's good to see that not EVERYTHING has to be cute and fluffy to get some attention. I also want some of those darn stick insects
