To be fair, lots of insects have seethrough wings…

I believe this species has very unique structural wing properties, but I am not a Lepidopterologist, so I could be wrong.

This is the giant weta, the largest insect: Giant wētā - Wikipedia
Imagine seeing a swarm of them outside your house!

It would be probably terrifying.
Though I don’t recall wetas forming swarms…

I never said they formed swarms, only told you to imagine if they did and one was outside your house.

I can imagine a swarm of huntsman spiders would be more terrifying to witness…

So like the giant locust swarms in Jurassic World: Dominion?
Also, how about the smallest known insect in the world, Dicopomorpha echmepterygis ?

There apparently exist smaller, parasitic and rather immobile arthropods…

There is a crustacean called Dendrogaster that parasitizes on sea stars. It takes someone to tell you it’s a crustacean to know it’s a crustacean.

Probably the closest thing to Mothra we’ll ever get in real life.

Yeah… Add some active breathing instead of passive, and you can reach sizes of probably 5m and it will still fly.

At some point structural and internal changes might be needed to still have such a moth be capable of becoming airborne…
