20 Biggest Insects Ever Found In The World

Insects come in all shapes and sizes, in fact there are over 900,000 different species of insect across the planet. That actually makes up a super-impressive 80 percent of the world’s species of living creatures. So it should come as no surprise that some of those insects are bigger than others. Actually some of them a flipping GIGANTIC.

From nightmare-inducing beetles with weight issues, to wasps so huge they like to snack on tarantulas, here are 20 of the Biggest Insects Ever Found in the World.

I had a pet preying mantis that thought she was a bird! Everytime I came in the room she would fly to me and land on my left shoulder, idk why my left shoulder but she was a loving dainty critter. She didn't eat that much for a mantis but surprisingly she lived much longer than I expected compared to her parents and grandparents.

I love how you include a badly photoshopped image just so you can clickbait lol

Fancy Topic: A grasshopper that big couln't keeps itself fed.

Fancy topic:It looks like the man catched a fish and then someone edited the grasshopper in the picture

Any sort of mantis can form a slight bond with their owner. They seem to have more personality than any other bug, not to mention how fun it is watching them devour crickets. The fact that they are the most fearless insect but very docile towards humans, makes them both interesting and fun to take care of. The reason the females eat the male's heads after mating is to ensure the safety and survival of the young (atleast thats how i've always understood it).

I had seen just one dragonfly in my life and i thought it was normal to be that big

The walking sticks are fascinating creatures to say the least. I kept 4 of them in an ample terrarium for few years. When the eggs hatched the babies look like tiny little green spiders. They grew to be about 5 inches long. If they lost a limb, the new limb that started to grow out, looked like a very small curled up vine. The hardest part of keeping them was finding food for them in the winter. They loved eating mulberry leaves. Of course the mulberry leaves would start to drop in the fall and I’d have to find another source of food for them. Their life expectancy was about two years. I loved the experience of having them as pets.

When I was a kid running around playing in the yard I actually saw a giant grasshopper!

It was enormous. Not as big as the one pictured with the fisherman but if I had to recall, I would say it was about 7 inches long. I chased it across the yard until it hopped under a pine tree & got away. I went & told my mom what I saw & she laughed. But to this very day I swear that grasshopper was as real as the day is long.

Fancy Topic: I believe this fisherman has caught a lobster, if you look at his right hand it looks like it’s holding the back of the tail and just passed his right hand the tail/carapace that he is holding is not in line with the abdomen of the grasshopper and the legs of the grasshopper have a reddish color at the part of the leg which I think is the lobster legs and then they just extended it out. This is a photo shop

2:35 that’s a locust, and it’s quite obviously photoshopped. He’s fishing and someone photoshopped some giant, colorful locust on there. The largest bug/insect in the world that we know of is the Goliath beetle. However, the Hercules beetle, giant weta, and titan beetle are quite large too

My old friend Alejandro Silva told me 24 years ago that when he grew up in the Costa Rican jungle there were cockroaches so big 6 inches &when you step on them they keep walking!

I work in a place where we always see earwigs and many different species of them. Ive seen earwigs and kept one because of its large size and still have. Roughly about 2.8in absolutely huge the other are only about an inch maybe half an inch

I like how they always manage to make the video a nice balance of informative, corny, confusing, and disturbing 🔥🔥w content

A large grasshopper is a LOCUST- I love Walking Sticks, they are so cute and charming... One came into my back door two years in a row. I had a Giant Sphinx Moth, the largest, in my hand - It covered about half my hand and had beautiful markings on the underwing. It flew away like a bird. The Alligator bug -WOW! How amazing!

0:14 the cat: "My owner may be scared, but I'm not. You're just a toy to me..."

I got the chills from the damn thumbnail💀💀💀💀

All good points about that ginormous grasshopper, he made a Halloween costume for his fish. Any fisherman can catch a big fish, But a ginormous grasshopper can cause mayhem or at least anxiety. Thanks for pointing all that out.

In my school we once found a huge moth a bit bigger than a foot surprisingly nobody freaked out because it was the just the wall until somebody threw dirt at it and it ran off.

Imagine the giant water bug becoming a giant dragonfly
