Wonder how it got there?  Either there's a 150ft earwig in a field in Germany or it walked across the camera lens (in space!) when the photo was taken.

That's pretty cool..Would be better if it was a city shot though.

And just to note, google images are both satellite imagery and normal aerial imagery (ie. planes/helicopters), which could count for the bug being on the lens.

Someone else suggested the bug was squashed in a scanner when the photo was being scanned.

Thats not the only problem Google had recently. The pic is from Google Earth where they mistakenly took pictures of some women sunbathing topless.

Did someone say "topless" photos were on Google Earth ?!?

When? where? And How ?

Got to be careful - who knows who is watching what these days . . .
