    How?

    I would dig an underground bomb shelter and fill it with chocolate and wait it out.

    Nope, I did attempt to read the book but it started off too slow.

    The pic won't show up, the caterpillars must be messing it up with their evil mental powers.

    I'd steal the u.s.s. iowa along with enough sailors to make her go.

    and we'd do coastal bombardments.

    those main guns can fire 17 miles no problem, and I think she has cruise missiles now, which, of course can do much better.

    so, those caterpillars would be toast.

    They would be some big as butterflies causing tsunamis and hurricanes. I'd convince them to just chill and come drink with me... see if we could talk things through.

    they wouldn't fly.

    the surface area\volume doesn't scale.

    SERIOUSLY though!?!?!

    you take a sphere

    hell, take a circle

    double the diameter.

    you've just massively increased the volume (or area) and as such, if we're dealing with a sphere

    the mass.

    great

    how much have you increased the surface area?

    not NEARLY as much.

    you scale up a butterfly even 100 times (lets say a large butterfly, Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, poisonous, 11 inch wingspan)

    So, now it's got a 91 foot wingspan, AWESOME. BUT!

    the wing is only 100 times thicker.

    doesn't have the surface area, the structural integrity, etc. to even stay together

    let alone fly.

    mister giant butterfly is fucked.

    So my plan of waiting till they became butterflies was actually way more ingenius than your one of getting a navy warship.:cool:

    Wouldn't you think that giant evil caterpillars taking over the world would have worked out some sort of solution for this glitch? I mean shit, Dave Techie just proved that even if they take control of the world they wouldn't be in control of it for very long.

    the giant caterpillars couldn't happen in the first place because caterpillars don't scale right

    hell

    we don't even scale right.

    if you were twelve feet tall you'd be bedridden, or die.
