Hoo! The horror! This behemoth butterfly may be called a Queen Alexandra's birdwing... But I call it the Queen of My Nightmares! It is huge! Indeed, the world's hugest. No butterfly can best its foot-long wingspan. The larvae alone grow to more than 4 inches. As if that weren't appalling enough...they're poisonous! Murderous monsters, indeed!
