Four inches long . large pincers. and long antenna. anyone ever see a Siberian husky run from a bug? even he knew it was best to leave it alone. i pushed it off the porch and hope it will find a new home far away from me and my house. only ever seen one before but not this big.

I got chased around by one of these suckers this morning when I got to work in Delta/Surrey, BC. I thought that it was a bird that had crash landed at first. But I then went to check it out, and found that it was a Giant Bug(Which I am terrified of). Terrible experience. holy cow.

Thought it was a cockroach at first but researched it and found this site. It is about 4 inches long in total and very aggressive. My daughter will be taking it to her Biology 12 class in the morning and will then let it go. Scared us to death when we first saw it and the info on it is even scarrier. Never seen one before in my whole 40 years. Would love to know approximately how many have been seen up here or roughly what their population may be.
