The only creepy thing about the Pacific Islands is the presence of the Coconut Crab (Birgus latro),
which is gigantic and menacing but not aggressive.
Some islands are without insects; these very large crabs live on land and fulfill the scavenger role as insects do.
This one is about to be lunch.
Notice the segmented body (thorax, abdomen) like an insect, only much larger.
