This is the only suggestion so far that I feel has actually been proven to have worked before, so I'm going to agree with Souplex.Souplex said:
If it really did happen, I would drop a toaster in my tub. Insects are such amazing killing machines, if they were bigger than us there would be little we could do to stop them.
I mean, proportionally, their armour would be thicker and might even be bullet-proof. And, of course, our nuclear weapons couldn't kill cockroaches - so even if all else failed, we'd still fail.
Plus, I can't stand bees and wasps already. I think I'd have a full-on heart attack if I saw a giant one coming at me.
There's only one thing to do learn the language of the bugs, earn their trust, and then breed with their women and in time our differences will be forgotten

Its funny how nearly no one knows the one that probably started all of the giant bugs in the field of war. And the Space Marine. And the Terran Federation.oppp7 said:
STARSHIP TROOPERS: THE NOVEL
OT: Go Raid on them! Or just try and get my hands on as many anti-bug, spider etc sprays and weapons as possible.
Nope, I do believe the reference is from the classic 1954, nuclear monster movie, Them!T3h Merc said:

OT: Chemicals, so much Anthrax. Anthrax bleeding out of the ground they call their home, but it is not their home. Rig up combines and tractors with Anthrax hoses and watch the enemy fall. Beautiful anthrax. (Note to self: Stop playing C&C Generals.)
I never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never ever want to go to the place in the world where shit like that spider web actually happens.Igen said:Not only have they gotten bigger...
they now hunt in packs!
Seriuosly, thats all spider webs, not tent catapillars, freakin spiders, thousands of them, working togeather...
I would die. If the spiders didn't get me, I'd just go ahead and have a heart attack.
I live in a country with no spiders (or any other insect/arachnid for that matter) that can kill you, and only one variety that can even bite you. The idea of thousands of venomous, eight legged killing machines all in one place just plain terrifies me.
As to the thought of a load of giant insects attacking... Well, at least you could see them, and... I dunno - hit them with a bat or something? (We also don't have guns here, and I somehow doubt our new insect overlords would be intimidated by an overwhelming presence of CCTV cameras.)
I am have a phobia of bugs including grasshoppers, crickets and other similar species. not tarantulas surprisingly. but ya, my ass would probably find a painless way to off myself, realistically
Hate to break it to ya dude (not really, i kind of like freakin people out with facts), but theirs a variety that lives and hunts under water as well. so crossing the water is a possibility for them. plus some one could accidently bring them over in a small shipping container. Happens all the time with the Brazilian wandering spider a.k.a. banana spider.Kirky said:

I actually know a guy that worked the produce section of a grocery store find one of these in a food crate, 7,000 miles (11,100 kilometers) from where its suposed to live. Beware of shipments from Brazil.
