  here's another.. it's a new discovery, just last year...

  Pinocchio Frog

  

  for obvious reasons...

  found in West Papua in Indonesia, it's a cute little thing but too little is know about it to know what or why it has such a snout

  RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!!

  IT'S A FLYING SCORPION!!!

  Scorpion Fly

  

  although it looks like a scorpion with wings (what a scary concept) the "sting" which looks like a scorpion's sting is actually its genitalia which has evolved to look like that...

  still, it looks scary as all heck

  A new species of leopard frog has been discovered in, of all places, that forest of concrete called New York City. It has a "peculiar" croak.

  A new insect has been discovered in Indonesia, and it looks like something you would see only in your worst nightmare. It's a new species of wasp found last year by entomologist Lynn Kimsey, a professor at the University of California at Davis. This week, Kimsey formally published her findings on the bug, dubbed "the Komodo dragon of wasps" because of its tremendous size and ferocious appearance.

  Discovered in the Mekongga Mountains on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the wasp is 2 1/2 inches long and greater than three times the size of an average wasp. Its jaws are so big that when its mouth is open, its jaws are bigger than its legs. Kimsey admitted she's surprised it can even walk with those kinds of proportions.

  Kimsey has named the monstrous insect "Garuda," the national symbol of Indonesia that is part human, part eagle, and known as the "king of birds." This new species of "digger wasp" is known for how the female paralyzes other insects, buries them, and then lays eggs on top of them, providing food for their offspring. It's starting to look like a real "Bug's World."
