    And we are afraid of Mantis Shrimp. :)

    "LONDON, England (AP) -- This was a bug you couldn't swat and definitely couldn't step on.

    The ancient sea scorpion, at 2.5 meters (8 feet) in length, was bigger than the average man is tall.

    British scientists have stumbled across a fossilized claw, part of an ancient sea scorpion, that is of such large proportion it would make the entire creature the biggest bug ever.

    How big? Bigger than you, and at 8 feet long as big as some Smart cars."
