I think we can do much better: Big Creepy Crawlies

A black and white manga panel where you can barely tell what the girl is holding surely cannot be the best illustration of the trope.

I was thinking of something like this from Starship Troopers, or maybe something from the bug scene in the recent King Kong. The page quote would actually make a fairly good caption for a Starship Troopers pic.

So, other suggestions?

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

I like Starship Troopers. I thought this one had already been replaced though. History says otherwise, so whatever.

Add one more support for Starship Troopers.

Anyone have a witty caption for it? Because I must say, that screenshot is just begging for one. :p

He suggested moving the page quote over as the caption.

Starship Troopers is fine, but that particular picture is already being used over on Bug War. Maybe this shot from the giant-ant movie Them, or this from (I think) Tarantula.

Maybe it should be moved. Being on Bug War might confuse people into thinking the trope is about a war against bugs.

I was referring to the pic that petrie 911 linked to above, not the one already posted on Big Creepy Crawlies. It's perfect for Bug War and should stay there. I meant maybe there's -another- pic from Starship Troopers we could use.

I prefer the giant Ant, personally.

I rather like the whole "report" aspect of the current pic but damn that quality :(

Ant#2 is even better than Ant #1.

Oh wait, it's already the page image for our page on Them.

...I don't suppose we could use the movie poster for our Them article instead? <<;

Movie poster for the movie, big ant for the Big Creepy-Crawlies page would be my choice. I like seeing the old movie posters on old movie pages.

Them article's image have been replaced with the movie poster, so the below is now free to use if it's what we go for.

I did it. Maybe someone can come up with a better caption.
