Is it a Triops? I know they can be found in only one or two locations in the UK, they're extremely rare if it is.

Cute little critter! sadly I bet in the next 5 years he'll be on the top ten most invasive and destructive foreign species list! lol

Oh man I bet he tastes good though, side order or grilled panda cheek and some tiger marrow pate! How decedant!? :D

mystery solved....it's a hoax !

"When i first posted this picture I was entrigued to find out what it was so I asked you's guys. I first seen this pic on the Glasgow Angling Centre's Facebook page and they were asking anyone to identify it. So I went in to check the comments on their page yesterday to see if anyone had identified it but, it turns out it is a hoax! It's made from a Swedish angler/film maker and modeller Stefan Rydehed. Seems like he's caught a few of us out! Here is the link but it is in Swedish so you will need google translate unless your Swedish of course!"

Phew! I can stop googling terrifying giant bugs now. The thing just looks so familiar; something about the twin tail. I guess now that the model maker probably took his inspiration from some film that I have seen. That, or we share the same nightmares!
