KAI! QUIT FUCKING AROUND!

[Doktor Howl]

Big bugs, please.

Really, really big bugs.

They should do the tarantula hawk thing, only on people.  Like in Aliens.

Soon would be good.

Thanks,
Dok

Funny thing, Dok. Kai had never seen Aliens until we watched it while I was in South Carolina.

Next time, make him watch Them.

Will do.

Kai might also provide us with giant, ostrich-sized Toebiters.

Those things fuck with my fear center something fierce.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Giant scorpion flies with WORKING stingers.

[Salty]

I want great big dung beetles. They would be my friends and we would laugh together as they rolled up the damned humans and shoved them into the soil to refill the earth with the nutrients they stole. Then they would roll me right along with them and I would die happy.

Please.

NAO.

[Phox]

All these requests for giant bugs....  wouldn't it be easier to shrink people? But damn, that wouldn't level the cities.... giant bugs it is!

I want army ants.

Trillions of army ants to decimate DC.

[Sita]

Giant scorpion flies with WORKING stingers.

That is something I could have gone longer without knowing it existed.
I have this thing against flying things that bite/sting.  

eta: having looked up this bug I am glad that the stinger is, in fact, not a stinger. But still...

[Payne]

I demand that Kai resurrects the bees.

And gives them a new colony. Libeeria perhaps.

I'm having design issues, specifically in reference to respiration and the exoskelleton. Apparently, whenever I try to grow them larger than a foot or so, they die of asphixiation. Plus, the chiton is just too heavy, I need some biological material lighter weight and just as strong (or stronger).

So, the todo list is:

1. Lungs. I know it's taboo, but due to slow rate of diffussion I can't get them bigger otherwise. I'm going to start with a spider's modified booklung and move from there, but ultimately the goal should be a closed circulatory system.

2. Biological steel? I don't really know what to do with this part. I /do/ know that they need to make more of it, we can't just plate it on. Wouldn't want people tearing it off while defending themselves would we.

3. Upper limits of size. The largest terrestrial animal that ever lived was Argentinosaurus, at 120 feet and 100 tones. Is that big enough for you? I can't go blue whale big, because rorqual size is only possible in the ocean. Air isn't boyant enough.

Kai might also provide us with giant, ostrich-sized Toebiters.

Having problems with toebiters. Specifically, flight capacity for those sort of wing and muscle configurations could not create enough lift for an insect as large as you specified. Even birds have an upper limit. Might be easier just to recreate pterodactyls.

Giant scorpion flies with WORKING stingers.

It's possible, but how would they /breed/?

I want great big dung beetles. They would be my friends and we would laugh together as they rolled up the damned humans and shoved them into the soil to refill the earth with the nutrients they stole. Then they would roll me right along with them and I would die happy.

Please.

NAO.

How big? Largest beetle in the world is about two handslengths.

All these requests for giant bugs....  wouldn't it be easier to shrink people? But damn, that wouldn't level the cities.... giant bugs it is!

Not really. You'd loose all the fun screaming and cursing. The brains just wouldn't be big enough.

I want army ants.

Trillions of army ants to decimate DC.

THIS is an excellent idea. I could probably make them more cold tolerant, and combine with some characters of the red imported fire ant...let me get back to you.

I demand that Kai resurrects the bees.

And gives them a new colony. Libeeria perhaps.

Bad puns aside, make africanized bees more cold tolerant is high up on my todo list.

[Eater of Clowns]

Giant mosquitoes that can suck the entirety of a man's blood in a single attack.  Squishy enough that you can peg them with a slingshot when they're bloated and create one awful mess.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I would say, rather than try to give toebiters flight, keep them aquatic, lurking in the shallows of every sufficiently-sized body of water. Covered in a fine layer of silt, they'd look like just another boulder until they move...
