Rikkitic:
Is there a place here for extremely random questions? I was wondering how big a cockroach could get if there was no limit on atmospheric oxygen. Could it be as big as a hippopotamous? How much oxygen would be required to achieve that? If it could be achieved, would the atmosphere catch on fire? If it did, would a self-correcting process take place as oxygen combusted? Would the fire go out when the level of oxygen reached 21% and would cockroaches return to normal size?
mdf: I'd start with http://what-if.xkcd.com/. I haven't seen the answer to that particular query, but there's some pretty outlandish stuff on there (with impeccably researched answers).

Rikkitic: Leave it to me to pick the wrong insect.
