There’s a tradition of giant roadside attractions in our culture, but I haven’t seen one of these before. An odd thing to celebrate with commemorative sculptures, I would’ve thought.

And to add a further weirdness, this one (by sculptor Valery Chaliy from Noyabrsk, Siberia) is a mecha-mozzie!

There’s a giant can of Buzz-Off just to the right of the picture.

There’s also a giant Pro Hart built ant in a park in Broken Hill. It looks very ’50s Jack Arnold. There’s a pic of it here about half way down the page.
More abstract than Jack’s ants, but spikily effective…
Seen close up they do work well to give that menacing feeling you get from big bull-ants.
