Giant Insect Invades Germany

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the our-thrip-overlords dept.

Noryungi writes, "It seems the alien invasion of the Earth has just started! A 50-meter insect has been spotted roaming the German countryside! Let the 'I, for one, welcome our new giant insectoid overlords' joke contest begin!" A moderator at a Keyhole forum IDs the bug as a thrip, about 1mm long, squished under a glass plate during scanning.

  1. Fark had a thread of wierd finds last week by gmezero · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There are some really great shots in that thread as well
    as some co-ordinates to follow up on. One is a wierd land
    area in New Mexico where some scammers had built out all
    the roads for an entire city development and then skipped
    out with the money and never built a thing.

    Very wierd stuff.
