Gigantic Bugs in Southern California 44

SloppyElvis writes "...and this time, Silicon Valley didn't create them. ;P CNN picked up this AP story about new species discovered in S.Cal. The most suprising news is this discovery came in such a densely-populated area. Beware, monstrous unknown creatures may be lurking in your backyard!"

    I am fairly sure that the pest control companies in the area knew of the bugs.

    When I used to be a hired bug killer we would be asked by the company scientist if we had seen any of "bug x" and invariably, most of us had. Every time, he was surprised.

    I guess scientists that don't spend much time in the field think that they know it all since they have read (suposedly) all of the books.
