AAGH! Finally got around to reading this thread. AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
And to think I get mildly creeped out by the very small spiders that tend to swarm over our back patio, Harry Potter in the Forbidden Forest-like. And the single largish spider that I shook out of a curtain once that went audibly THUMP on the floor and scuttled away alarmingly fast. We don't have ANYTHING remotely as creepy as the bugs y'all have posted. One mildly poisonous snake, that's all, otherwise it's large furry non-creepy mammals out there.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

OMG, I knew I should not have come here. I don't mind spiders so much, but all the other creepy crawlies freak me out. I ecspecially cannot stand june bugs and crickets and things that jump at you are fly into your head. I know they don't bite, but the feel of them on my skin or in my hair just gives me the hebee jebees. My skin is now crawling.

It's a giant weta. Luckily for you they're quite rare. Here's one to scale...

I like this: "The Māori name of the Giant Weta is 'wētā punga' (lumpy or jointed weta), a name that is sometimes rendered in English-language sources as 'god of ugly things'"
