Bug Island

Bug Island is a large man-made island the size of two New Zealands combined that is located next to the Hawaiian islands. The island was created by scientists of the 1970s who wanted to make an invertebrate-dominated island, they poured sand and soil and the shallow part of the ocean near Hawaii, when the plants arrived, depending on a type of plants, either from scientists importing them from mainland Hawaii or their seeds/pollen were blown by the wind to the recently-created island, and after the island was fully-vegetated, the scientists used growth serums to help the arthropods without any negative side effects abd modified some of their anatomies before being brought to Bug Island. It is distinguished from any other islands by the kinds of native megafauna of the island, all of which are large arthropods (which live much longer thah regular arthropods, ranging from 14-80 years depending on a species, as opposed to just few weeks or a year) like big insects, giant spiders, huge scorpions, and even massive millipedes and centipedes, which unlike normal arthropods elsewhere, the arthropods have vocal cords, giving them the ability to vocalize, ranging a wide variety of sounds depending on a species of giant arthropods, from dog-like lion-like growls/roars of tiger-sized bull ants to bull-like sounds of bison-sized long-horned beetles. The reason why the Bug Island arthropods never made it out of the island is likely either due to being flightless (for flightless species) or their flight abilities not able to fly farther off the island. The only native land vertebrates of the island includes birds, bats, and pinnipeds. There is only one human-inhabited city in the island, and that is located in the southeast coast of the island, which includes the harbor, aquarium park, and among others.
