Could you imagine human sized June bugs and their dumbasses bumping into every light source imaginable and plunging us back into darkness?

Camel Spider
From ChatGPT
If you ignore the biological constraints and imagine a human-sized camel spider, you get a vision of a fearsome predator.
Speed: With its powerful legs, a camel spider can run at speeds of up to 10 miles per hour. Scaled up to human proportions, its speed and agility would be terrifying.
Jaws: The jaws (chelicerae) of a camel spider are roughly one-third its body length. Enlarged to human scale, these massive jaws could be used to chop and saw through flesh and bone.
Nocturnal hunter: These creatures are nocturnal hunters. A human-sized version would be an ambush predator, lurking in the darkness to attack.
Chasing behavior: A human-sized version seeking your shadow would be a heart-pounding and inescapable horror movie scenario.

What if the wasp or yellow jacket could be domesticated and ridden?

Most dominant insect if human sized?

Chat gpt is so damn clumsy. This is not an insect. Can’t even get to #2 without deviating from what it was asked.

Dragon fly if it hasn't already been said. Highest observed hunting success of ANY animal at 95-97%. A tiger for example, is successful in about 5% of its hunts. Imagine a human-sized missle that never misses.

Spiders are not insects; otherwise could you imagine being spun into whatever it is they wrap up.
Lots of ants being mentioned. But how about being farmed like cattle by ants? There are several species that do this to aphids.
Seen these ants at work in my garden and gladly let them thrive.

quote:
The process of “milking” aphids is a delicate art that farming ants have perfected over millions of years. Worker ants gently stroke aphids with their antennae, stimulating them to release droplets of honeydew. This intimate interaction requires remarkable restraint – the ants must resist their natural predatory instincts to instead nurture and protect their tiny livestock. Some ant species have become so dependent on aphid farming that they’ve lost the ability to forage for other food sources. These specialist herders move their aphid flocks to new locations when food becomes scarce, much like nomadic pastoralists moving their cattle to fresh pastures. They even carry aphids to safety during colony relocations, ensuring their valuable livestock survive the journey. link

The Camel Spider is not a true arachnid as it does dot produce any silk webbing. It lies somewhere between insect and arachnid. A species unto its own.

None of them. They would weigh too much for their exoskeleton and their legs would collapse and/or their wings would be much too small for flight. It's the square-cube law of sizing.

Ants by a mile. End of discussion. Close this thread.

Africanized Honey Bees seem like they could be a real problem as well with their aggression. If you increase the range they will defend if human sized it would be around 13K miles

quote:obligatory
Africanized honey bees are typically much more defensive, react to disturbances faster, and chase people farther than other varieties of honey bees, up to 400 m (1,300 ft). They have killed some 1,000 humans, with victims receiving 10 times more stings than from European honey bees. They have also killed horses and other animals.
