Here's another one you can add to the list of large Minnesota roadside attractions -- did you know there's a giant "bug" in Gibbon, MN?
"Attack of the 50 foot VW Bug!" reads the caption of a photo posted to Reddit by Reddit user holstach.
The "bug" in question is the frame of an old VW Beetle painted black and mounted in the air on poles shaped to look like spider legs. Altogether, it gives the impression of a giant daddy long legs spider.
"I’ve been through Gibbon and never noticed!" exclaimed one in the photo's comment section. According to Reddit user klippDagga and Google Maps, the giant bug is located just south of Gibbon in County Highway 2. It sits in front of a pole barn with the name Hillman across the front.
