what the hell is this? (insect)

[Phantom_IEC]

I'm obviously no expert in zoology, but I'd say it's a lizard.

This guy has it, definitely [sub][sub]not[/sub][/sub] a lizard.

But yeah, it looks like a large Crane fly, aka a Daddy Long Legs.

Completely harmless, I'd say.

No, Daddy Long Legs is the name for Harvestmen/Opiliones. People have been getting this wrong for so long that it is becoming absorbed as the correct usage. This mistake is one of my pet hates...

But as you say, people have been thinking and saying it for so long, it's practically the correct term.

Besides which, it's not the correct term for it anyway, so labelling a different thing as it is just the same.

Possibly a crane fly. However, if I may offer someone else's suggestion:

Whatever it is. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

Or it might be a spy. They're sneaky bastards, those BLU team spies...

Yes it is a Crane Fly.

 

[Caurus]

Take it to a church see if it burns? That is scary. I hope you live far away from me.
Good luck, and gods speed good man.

Trap it in a glass jar with rocks in the bottom, go to the nearest body of water. Now toss the jar in and watch it, along with the vile spawn of satan, sink to the murky depths below. Hopefully you never see the face of true evil again. Thats my advice for getting rid of it.

As for what it is, not a bloody clue. Evil? Murderous? Gamma radiated mosquito? Probably this crane fly thing everyone else has mentioned though.

 

[micky]

hmm to me it looks like the spawn of Satan, BUT it could be a harmless little bug, better safe than sorry though. KILL IT WITH HOLY WATER!

 

[Erana]

Yep, it looks like a 'Skeeter hawk.
Let 'em go; they're harmless. Kinda cute, actually. Though they like to land on wet paint and leave tracks.

 

[joshthor]

its clearly a seeker. like the type from mass effect 2. clearly your city is about to be abducted by collecters working to make a

large cookie

 

[Jark212]

Looks like a Crane fly, they can get pretty big but are relatively harmless...

 

[Sparrow]

I don't know, but kill it! KILL IT WITH FIRE.

 

[zehydra]

Looks like a mosquito, or maybe its like an ant king or something like that. Some bugs we normally think of as not flying have kings or queens that can fly.

 

[silver wolf009]

It is the creature that was sent to the egyptians buy the jewish god as part of the plauges of egypt. Kill it before its brothers aid its escape and destroy the world.

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

It looks like that species of wasp that hunts tarantulas, stings it to paralyze it then uses its still alive body to raise its baby in it. I saw that on animal planet.. only time I ever felt bad for a spider.

Also, who gives a shit what it is, its horrible! Kill the damn thing!

 

[I Resurection I]

Something I might find in Australia it seems.

 

[Beefjerky]

Whatever it is. Kill it. Kill it with fire.

What he said. Before it has the chance to reproduce with humans! Kill the Mutant! Purge the Unclean!

 

[Rakkana]

Looks like a large Daddy long legs to me... the body seems too big though so I'm guessing I'm wrong.

 

[therandombear]

Since it's already been answered that it in fact is a Crane Fly as you english/americans call it, I thought it might be funny with the Norwegian google translate wiki for it.

It really is a Crane Fly, I clicked on the English version, but google translate kinda translated it wrong, very wrong >.<

 

[Snor]
