10. Brazilian Treehopper

It has a number of peculiar appendages on its back which turn out to be hollow chitin balls without any known purpose. It is one odd looking insect, and we still have no idea why it looks the way it does.

9. Bees

Bees are able to coordinate with each other even across distances, and appear to psychically communicate. Bees clearly have a very different way of life than anything we can imagine as human beings. Each hive behaves more like a single individual than a colony of individuals and nobody knows exactly how beehives work.

8. Flower Mantis

This mantis can come in many different colors and shapes. Some species have what looks like two huge eyes sticking up on top – just more coloration. If you aren’t a xenophobe, you might still find it as a pretty as a flower. Orchid mantises in particular are widely considered quite beautiful.

7. Twisted Wing Parasite

This little fly is quite a menace in the insect world. As a larva, it waits around for a bee or wasp to come along. Then it jumps on board and burrows into the host insect. Once there, it morphs into a male or female second-stage larva. The male will burst out and go look for a mate. The female will remain inside the host, and only poke out her genitals. Once she is impregnated and lays her eggs, the cycle begins again.

6. Driver Ants

They can kill and devour small animals and larger invalid animals (including humans). Attack just one, and the entire colony of up to 20 million ants will take it really personally. Their bite is powerful and their jaws will remain locked even if you tear an ant apart and kill it.

5. Hummingbird Moth

The moths are diurnal, which means they are actually active during the day. This moth has evolved to resemble a hummingbird with a fat body and a convincing “tail”. Their wings can beat incredibly fast, which adds to the impression that they are in fact a bird.

4. Hercules Beetle

This beetle is not only the strongest insect on the planet (may not be the largest) but it is also the strongest animal, period. It can carry up to 850 times its own weight on its back.

3. Goliath Beetle

They are native to Africa and are sometimes kept as pets. This beetle can grow up to four inches in length, and weighs even more than the locust described above. They love protein, and can be fed dog or cat food or even baby food. Keeping a Goliath Beetle may hold some of the same appeal as keeping a tarantula, without the need to feed it mice.

2. Assassin Bugs

These have an unusual and rather alien attack method. Their mouth tubes allow them to stab their prey and inject them full of a liquefying toxin. This numbs the prey and turns their innards into fluid. The liquid dinner can then be sucked back up through the mouth tube.

1. Little Barrier Island Giant Weta

This is about the size of your hand. On the Little Barrier Island of New Zealand you can find one of the biggest insects in the world, measuring 3 and a half inches in length and weighing 2.5 ounces.
