On this continent live species that wouldn\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t survive anywhere else in the world (or at least that\u2019s what people are hoping for). Here you can encounterer some of the most colossal bugs, some of the most repulsive, some of the cutest too, and some that look like they don\u2019t belong in this dimension. We bet you want to see. So without further ado, here are 10 of Australia\u2019s weirdest insects you won\u2019t believe actually exist.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"post_walkthrough\"><strong class=\"title\">Weird Australian insects:<\/strong>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#Giant_Centipede\">Giant Centipede<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Australian_Earthworms\">Australian Earthworms<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Australian_Witchetty_Grubs\">Australian Witchetty Grubs<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Bulldog_Ants\">Bulldog Ants<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Burrowing_Cockroach\">Burrowing Cockroach<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Common_Garden_Orb_Weaver\">Common Garden Orb Weaver<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Goliath_Stick_Insect\">Goliath Stick Insect<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Hercules_Moth\">Hercules Moth<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Loboscelidia_Wasp\">Loboscelidia Wasp<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#Extatosoma_Tiaratum\">Extatosoma Tiaratum<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Giant_Centipede\">10.

You can find this centipede all around Australia. It\u2019s essentially what nightmares are made of. Whenever there\u2019s a ghoulishly creepy scene in a horror movie, you\u2019re bound to notice these crawling around like fast, wobbly pieces of terror. When Franklin Roosevelt famously said that \u201cthe only thing we need to fear is fear itself\u201d, he didn\u2019t have one of these bad boys dangling in front of his face, or even worse \u2013 quickly making its way towards his ear. The fact that they\u2019re nocturnal makes it even worse \u2013 imagine a 15-centimetre centipede crawling on your face while you\u2019re sleeping. Oh, the humanity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Australian_Earthworms\">9.

Australian earthworms look like they\u2019ve been grown in a lab and then dipped into a vat of radioactive goo. With an average length of 1 meter, and the ability to stretch their bodies to look much, much bigger, these disgusting creatures are completely harmless. Yet, they make the mutated worms in Chernobyl look like common fish bait. However, if you\u2019re thinking of going fishing using one of these colossi, we\u2019d recommend getting a meat hook\u2014a massive one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Australian_Witchetty_Grubs\">8.

Hehe \u2013 wrong! Australian Witchetty Grubs are huge, and just two or three of them can fill the palm of your hand. Because they\u2019re so fat and (apparently) savoury, they are considered a protein-rich delicacy by many. If eating weird bugs is your thing, by all means, go for it. Otherwise, if you\u2019re looking for protein, we recommend eating a nice lean chicken fillet or drink a protein shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Bulldog_Ants\">7.

Not bulldog ants, though. They\u2019re little evil monsters with huge mandibles coming straight from hell to torment us during the hot summer days. Bulldog ants are extremely aggressive and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to attack, even unprovoked. And because ants are so good at cooperation, if you get bitten by one, you can expect bites from some of its other friends in the neighbourhood.
