7 Terrifying Giant Versions of Disgusting Critters

1 ) Crabs

Crabs are nature’s adorable cartoon character , scuttling awkwardly across our beaches, hilariously clambering for freedom from our chefs and occasionally composing catchy songs for our oddly arousing mermaids . From the pictures above , those are a coconut crab . It is a Tasmanian giant crab and the Japanese spider crab . The Japanese spider crab can be on average 13-feet across with the legs spread out .

2 ) Jellyfish

This is the Lion’s Mane Jellyfish . It can grow to be eight-feet across, with some types growing tentacles to over 120-feet long , making them some of the longest living things on earth . But no worries , it is harmless .

3 ) Pill Bugs

The Giant Marine Isopod comes from the deep sea . They’re known to eat so much in one meal that they become bloated and unable to move . They’re not going to be a threat unless you’re already immobile and trapped on the floor of the deep sea . But if that is the case, they’ll likely swarm over your motionless body and feast on your soon-to-be corpse until they’re bursting at the seams .

4 ) This is Giant African Land Snail . It is one of the rare things that both science and religion can agree should not exist  : They can be up to 14-inches long , are simultaneously male and female and can survive up to three years sealed in their shell . The snails are highly invasive and can utterly destroy a local ecosystem .

5 ) Spiders

The Nephila Edulis , the Giant Golden Orb-web Spider and, according to the Head Spider Keeper of the New South Wales Australian Reptile Park tells us that this type of spider sometimes grows “as big as a human hand but the northern species in tropical areas were known to grow larger .” The picture above shows that the spider is eating a bird .

6 ) Water bugs

This is the giant water bugs aka water striders  or pond skaters . It can grow to over four-inches long , a size which technically makes them less “water striders” than “insect barges of terror .” It considered to have one of the most painful bites in the bug world .

7 ) Earthworms

As we can see the Giant South African earthworm , pictured above , which can reach over 20-feet in length. And their campaign of weirdness doesn’t stop with looking like monsters from a 50s sci-fi movie . Are they dangerous ? No , they are not . They cannot harm u physically .
