I am looking for stories or possibly essay-type discussions about giant
insects.  Not interested in stories which have giant insects without
explanation.  I would like to see a good rationalization behind their
existance.  Can a combination of gravity, atmospheric pressure,
different organ structure,etc.  allow insects which e close to human
size?  There are lots of stories with human-size intelligent insects,
but I cannot think of any with good biology and physics behind them.
Discussion welcome!
