This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I regrettably went to wiki to read more and found this unsettling fact:

"The largest extant species is the Australian giant earwig (Titanolabis colossea) which is approximately 50 mm (2 in) long"

That actually isn't as scary as I expected it to be.
