Anyone with a large garage in the small town of Arlesburg in Germany may be able to make a fortune from a different source.
According to Google Earth, there's a 50m long earwig threatening the town from the north-east, currently munching its way across a corn field and heading for the cover of a nearby forest.
A sharp-eyed visitor to Google Earth spotted the earwig, which presumably crept into the picture while no-one was looking. Perhaps this is Arlesburg’s attempt at gaining fame and fortune.
