Yet Another Big Bug
Cricket as big as your open hand, anyone? Every time I think the insect world couldn't get any creepier, I'm proven wrong.
New Zealand = close to Australia. I think I might pee myself if one of those jumped on me in the night.
I know I would if it was one of the chicken eating tarantulas in S. America...

I've already told E and A...if they're tired hangin' out with me...the quickest way for me to "get the message" is to buy a tarantula--the bird-eating variety especially--and keep it in the house.
A sure guarantee I'll never set foot inside! :-D

Even pump action so I could put more than one shell at the thing, just to make sure.

Kicks like a mule on 'roids.
