GIANT BUG Posted on June 27, 2010by Jess I was walking out of McDonalds and almost tripped on this giant bug. It was huge! I should have put a pencil or something next to it for effect…didn’t want to get that close.
This is a palo verde beetle. I concur that they are ginormous: 5~8″ for those of you who don’t believe the caption.
They can bite which I hear is as painful as a bee sting. I have also heard that they will squeek if you pick them up. I avoid them.
