#2 Giant Weta

Another bug that can be mistaken for a cockroach, a giant weta can grow up to 4 inches. There is a female giant weta on record for being documented as one of the heaviest insects in the world, weighing in at 2.5 ounces. That's heavier than a sparrow. Found in New Zealand, this bug is largely exterminated and considered a pest.
