Gosh....staggeringly huge and a little bit horrendous. I hope it stays in Malaysia!

Interesting image, Walter. That is more than ample in size! No stings or bites -- likes to be handled. . . ( ? )

Holy cow! Has this insect been given Human Growth Hormone? It's huge! Love being able to gauge its size on the hand. Great photo Walter :) V
