Line 13:
** The fact that they came across a scorpion ''at all'' is pretty remarkable. How many scorpions do you have nesting in your backyard? As for the ants, I'd chalk that up to pest control. The ant the kids found might have been the one ant to escape the exterminator.
** There are other insects than ants and scorpions in gardens. ''Lots'' of other insects. Take a piece of garden half a metre in diameter, and you'll find it teeming with all sorts of insects. Most are too tiny for us to see if not specifically looking for them, but for the shrunken kids they'd be the size of dogs. It's completely implausible that they only see the two insects in the garden.
** We just see the plot-relevant insects, is all. There are a couple of others (the bee they ride, the dead fly early on), but obviously they didn't want to spend a lot of money on expensive special effects for things that would only set the tone, not actually forward the plot. If it were made now I'm sure the place would be teeming with huge CG bugs, but back then they actually had to build animatronics and props for them.
* Mr. Szalinski's yard was [[Take Our Word for It|supposedly overgrown]], but the lawnmower certainly doesn't seem to be making much of a difference.
* Why does Sterling Labs have trouble enlarging things in ''Honey, I Blew Up the Kid''? The shrinking machine could enlarge things just fine in the end of ''Honey, I Shrunk the Kids''.
