hmmm. I think I'd go with centipedes. For sheer creep-factor. (more than 8 legs is just excessive.)

If I were really satan, I'd reverse the shrink ray and make centipedes large enough to ride. I bet they'd add it to the geneva conventions as a war crime.

Ha, fat chance! Your centipede would be discretely drone striked very quickly and the jumbo-wumbo gun research would be used to fuel a new division of the military industrial complex before NATO ever got a chance to add it to the no-no list.

Any large enough insect is relatively easy to kill, you just need a Buick.
