Asiababe in reply to Sir Loin: HAHA now I used to them and kinda like them. They so ugly someone gotta love them Sir Loin: Don't be mean to him, he's lovely and his name is Wally Weta, his gf is Wilma, they have a home under the peeling bark of a totara tree. Sir Loin: This one is usually about 2-3 inches long but the giant weta is twice that size and weighs more than a mouse. He's the largest insect in the world. This one is a tree weta, he can really hurt with those jaws but the giant is very gentle Sir Loin: There's also a cave weta with a similar size body but legs span over a foot. When I was teaching High School I loved taking my Geography and Biology classes into caves filled with them Sir Loin in reply to Karen33405: Oh I never told them they'd see lots of wetas, just that we were studying karst ladndscapes which feature limestone caves Sir Loin in reply to MJ59: Awww Beav, there's far worse things to have in your tent. I once woke up with a venomous spider crawling over my genitals, imagine if she'd bitten! I think having a hungry grizzly bear in your tent might seriously fuck up your day. |
We had one in our bed, quite an introduction to NZ for Asiababe
