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

Oh My God

Are you f'n kidding me?




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'"

Good God is right that thing is just freaky and creepy. Glad to hear you don't
have them wandering around in huge numbers.

I have finally identified the Millipedes we have visiting and you guessed it they are not native to Australia.

Hey Z if you are still viewing this thread I guess that last pic didn't help with the weird psych experiment thing.

SK - I would take some snaps but well I have no idea where the camera stuff is and secondly I suck at downloading the stuff onto the computer from the camera. Sad I know but true.


Funnily enough I find the pics in this thread are helping me to feel less revolted by the Millipedes we have.
