What are the weirdest and scariest animals or insects you’ve seen in Australia. I will start off with what I’ve just found

Newly discovered giant stick insect could be Australia's heaviest

Naturalists have made the discovery in the misty rainforests of Far North Queensland where tree canopies reach more than 30 metres above the ground and many species are believed to still be unknown.

The Bulldog Ant's cousin, the Jack Jumper Ant! They're known for their painful sting, which can cause allergic reactions in some people. Their jumping ability makes them hard to avoid, adding to their intimidating reputation. A tiny but fierce Aussie critter!

I read this and messaged my mum who has a giant stick insect in her garden. It is seriously 40ish cm long verified by my own eye. It apparently often has loads of smaller stuck insects making noises around it. Maybe they haven't found males because they're looking for giant males while the males are actually much smaller.

Edit.
She lives a full days drive away. But next time I go I'll try to get snaps of giant stick insect in my mum's bush and post them here. No double entendre intended. Might be a new direction to send to this team in their study if I get good snaps. Maybe they're looking past small male stick insects as a different, smaller species as they're Lazer focused on finding a giant male.

These CARNTS are filthy pests that just love Shitting 24/7, creating disease ridden footpaths, Park benches. How can we forget the damage they do to cars. These sons of bitches migrated to the city after droughts in search of food and never left. Fark off back home!

Everything in Australia will kill you!
Whether it grows, swims, flies, crawls, slithers, hops or glides etc; it will either kill you, kill you then eat you, “violate” you or just settle for laying its eggs in your brain!
