Batocera Lineolata
The top two images are wholy inadequate shots taken on my cameraphone, the next two were 'borrowed' from www.insects.jp. This is a godzilla-proportioned insect I found at a train station when I lived out of the country, out here in Japan. I thought it was an over-sized toy replica until it started walking up the window and eating all the spiders. A google search finds that they can come even bigger, as seen in photos 3 and 4. Unfortunately there is nothing to show the scale of the wee bietie in mt shots, but it really was surprisingly huge. The eyes in the 3rd photo are amazing. Respect to whoever picket that monster up! Not for the squeemish.
