Strange new bugs are out there, too

Dr. Karl Shuker reports on two strange creatures of what is sometimes termed "micro-cryptozoology": finding insects and other small arthropods. He punctures on myth - that of a shrieking foot-long centipede that sounds like it might come from Skull Island, and describes an unsolved mystery of a creature reported at close range (as in, it ran over the explorer's fingers) but not caught: a tiger beetle, bright red and the size of "a baby's finger" which has evolved to mimic the shape of an ant. Lotta weird stuff out there...
