Are the Bugs Getting Bigger?

I don't know, maybe it's just me but it seems that the bugs in my area are getting bigger. The other day, I noticed a spider with a HUGE body and thick legs, something practically unheard of 5 years ago. Even the bees....I've seen some that it seems shouldn't even be able to fly! They've got this big body the seems to drag them down. So...is it just me or are the bugs really getting bigger?

I think the mosquito's are getting larger by the second! We have had a bit of rain over the past few days and they are out bigger and in huge quantities! We fed the duck and walked her this morning and got several bites a piece. I have 9 all together and Keith has 4. It was bad out there. We cut our walk short and come back inside because of it! I have also seen some very large spiders this year as well.

I killed this massive hairy spider last nite in my basement. It makes me sick to think that thing was in my house. Ugh I hate when the weather turns colder because all of the creepy crawlers come in the house. I can handle it as long as there is never a snake. If I ever had a snake in my house I would have to move. My parents had baby snakes in their basement and I just thank heaven I was already moved out.

I've often wondered the same thing. there are some houseflies in here that are the size of small bats, I swear! I saw one whizzing by me a few minutes ago that was absloutely gigantic. I wonder when they got so big, and what it was they ate to cause them to get that big.
