      Overall the Goliath beetles are the biggest species, google them and be terrified!

      Although it’s worth noting that there is some debate over this and that there are so many undiscovered species (millions!) that it’s possible the biggest insect is unknown to us currently!

      They really are horrible! I don’t like to think of giant cockroaches running about but I bet there are some whoppers
