Giant flying bug found at Arkansas Walmart turns out to be "super-rare" Jurassic-era insect

For the embeded thumbnail

Time travel is real , I guess

yuck

Rare ?

We shoot those here in South Louisiana all the time.

Wow. It’s like “The Mist”

Ever consider asking?

Roun'here we call them thangs dragon flys.

They got a lab in Arkansas where they let it go ?

not rare and not from CHINA. that 1 is a baby.

was in Ft Worth in the 90's. we caught a huge bug similar to the 1 pictured. barmaid used a gallon pickle jar to catch it in. checked back a week or so later. bug came from SA blew in with a storm.

thing was huge. wings like a dragonfly but larger than a moth, more like a small bird. tail was like a scorpian, nobody wanted near this thing. was at least 4" wing span, so double OP's.

Dude must have some giant hands.

So we are living in the Jurassic era? These scientists don't try and make sense anymore.

I saw a small(cow sized) long neck dinosaur eating brush on the side of the highway in SE Arkansas. Dark green, in the ditch, zero fucks given.

Those used to take over our yard every year. Only rare because of Chem trails

Walmart connected to the underground World. Maybe it came up and escaped from below

did we travel back in time

I think I've seen this before in Texas. Possibly?

Takes it off the wall, carries it in his hand while shopping.

Gets home and mounts it.

Leave out the bit where ....

HE KILLED IT.

ASSHAT.

so that bug survived millions of years of extinction. okay buddy

more like dinosaurs jurrasica era theory was like 6000yrs ago.

same ppl that feed you the million yr old dinosaurs same ppl telling you theirs 17 genders

That guy killed a rare bug, not seen in 50 years, that could have reproduced?

The wing span is two inches and that is not giant

Sounds like bullshit.

What a bunch of nonsense reporting.

Giant lacewings were once found across the entire continent, but by the 1950s, the insect had been destroyed in the eastern part of North America.

Okay... if it was around during the 1950s, it is not some rare Jurassic-era insect.

Yep, or skeeter hawks.

the biggest moth, that i've ever seen, was here in arkansas.
it was between the edge of the front door and the porch light
one night. it would fly at me when i tried to open the
door. at first i thought it was a bird.
i finally distracted it, somehow, and got in after several
tries.

They know almost nothing about the insect world. They estimate they only have identified 10% of the possibly existing insects on earth. I'm confidant a few smaller animals from that era exist, namely the Plesiosaur, that is a favorite of scientists as well.

Antarctica melting zone?

Found it's way to civilization?

There good with chocolate!

Actually think I have seen them around here recently.

Spared no expense.
