The picture doesn't really convey the scale of this dragonfly, but it's enormous. Easily as long as my index finger (which I didn't include in this picture because I'm a scaredy cat who wants to keep a safe distance, lol)

Panther Girl of the Kongo (1955), a very late Republic serial.

It’s a jungle girl adventure. That’s always a good start. And it features giant bugs.

It's not bad and if you're a seasoned serial fan you'll want to see it. If you're new to the wonderful world of movie serials there are however much better examples which would be a much better place to start.

If you love giant bug movies you’ll love The Black Scorpion (1957).

The story is trite, the characters are uninteresting, the acting is at best adequate. None of that matters. It’s a movie about giant killer scorpions and it features some classic stop motion animation. That’s all you need to know.

I loved it.
