Wow, I bet If it wanted to it could kill and eat a full grown poodle. Kind of a groosum idea but hey, it's true. That might have also been the smartest insect in the history of the world to, you have to be pretty smart to catch a fast slipery fish for dinner! Does anyone know what the smartest bugs in the world are that are living today?

It doesn't really count since it's aquatic. Do the extant giant tube vent worms get longer than that?

The biggest land inverts were six-foot millipedes.
