The longest caterpillar in the world: Mongolian giant worm.

It is thought that this bug is 5 feet long and looks like the intestines of a cow. It is usually red, and its horns sometimes stick out at both ends of the body. This worm is extremely dangerous. Its deadly venom and current can hit a target a few feet away. Ivan Mackler is the head of the Czech research group. He has looked for this bug three times.

In the second expedition, Mackler tried to lure worms out of the desert with high explosives, but failed. In 2004, he returned to the Gobi Desert. This time, he used low-flying technology to photograph the vast desert. However, in this expedition, he failed to capture any traces of bugs with his camera. Monsters circulating among Mongolian nomadic tribes for hundreds of years have aroused the interest of scientists and amateur researchers.

Habit:

Mongolian legend says that it can kill distant enemies, and it will spray venom or discharge to its prey. This bug lives underground and hibernates for a year. It is basically inactive except in June and July. When it rains and the ground is wet, it will climb out of the ground. This insect often preys on camels and lays eggs in their intestines. Its skin is red and sometimes yellow.

It is said that its venom can corrode metals, and this worm may be parasitic on local plants. It is said that this bug can emit lightning from the rectum. Although Mongolian nomads have reported its existence for centuries, there is no real evidence to prove the authenticity of this creature.
