On a business trip a couple of years back, I skipped out of the conference I was attending for a couple hours to tour a fancy home. That is one of the secrets of career survival by the way, sneaking out. My eyes began to glaze over as the tour guides’ spiels dragged on, but just in the nick of time, I saw this giant insect out of the corner of my eye, and wandered over to check it out. It was mounted in a glass covered shadow box. I had to work quickly in case the docents caught me, but luckily, I was able to get a decent photograph of this 20 cm long monster.
