I know, but spiders fit pretty well in this thread ^^
@cgb would you mind changing the title of the thread for it to be more spider-inclusive? 
And living in Brittany, France, insects are at best a nuisance (well, except Asian hornets that I hate cause they kill the wild bees I host in my garden).
I can understand that people living in Asia, Australia or South America can have a different relationship with insects ^^
done 
Thank you 
I guess we need another thread for even smaller things that can’t be called beings but are still fascinating.

Like electrons? 
Not b&w, not that old, but maybe Mimic?
No, it was def at least from the 60s or earlier
but thanks for the tipp
The worlds smallest ”dalahäst” 7 mikrometers in size. They used an electron beam to carve it out of platinum.
I didn’t include photos for a reason.
At least ours are only 15-20 cm long, the South American ones can be 30 cm.
I just remembered how 15-20 years ago I wrote that some logo looked like g***se, and one guy decided to google that (bad idea). He wasn’t happy.
Anyway, here’s someone’s photo of Lethocerus indicus, it’s about 8 cm long and can be boiled or fried (I haven’t tried it, but some restaurants nearby do serve it, I just decided that photos of a fried water bug wouldn’t fit the spirit of the thread).
Quatermass and the pit maybe?.
Fuzzy little moth in Okinawa.
This thread is great. I’ve got a butt ton of bug photos and finally have a place to offload.
I’ll share when I dig them up and have time.
Wonderful moth! And wow, the size of that grasshopper. I’ve played enough Boku No Natsuyasumi to recognize that type of beetle, too. 
Nice photos and I love that grasshopper!
Mosquito with parasite those parasites manage to keep the insect (ant, mosquito, etc) just enough alive that it still can walk etc.
Ant parasite wasp
Zombie ant fungus (real name)
Zombie parasites are fascinating, the one that takes over snails is so creepy, as it grows it moves into the eye stems and you can see it pulsing away like some alien that has taking control of the wheel, driving the snail upwards so it can be eaten and complete the cycle.
deleted fake photo
Yeah that’s not actually true. Also, the photo is faked somewhat, the photographer in question has a history of staging pictures like this and marketing them to credulous/dishonest news outlets.
thanks i deleted it
