Apex Outlaws — The Six Legs Score Hall of Fame
Every bug that scored 90 or above. The most-wanted board, ranked.
The Six Legs Score™ is the Wild Pest's proprietary 0-100 rating of bug wildness — a composite of biology, strangeness, human impact, cultural prominence, and visual drama. The bugs below cleared 90, the threshold for Apex Outlaw status. Sheriff Six-Legs has personally signed off on every one. Read the file, vote with your nightmares.
