    That's a little 'un. They can be twice that size (bigger ov'seas). Not quite as much fun as weta's but still good to freak chicks out with.
    We Harvestman (men) down here. They're not spiders although they look like them.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Yeah I have seen pics of huge ones overseas, but that is big for a NZ one isn't it? We get a shit load of weta's at our place. They are wickedly evil looking fuckers. Imagine if they were the size of the ones in King Kong!.

    that one is large-ish, but i've seen bigger here, in the bathroom.

    They were living in the pepper tree, and climbing in the open window.

    Gave me a few frights as i'm having a pee and look left to see a 5inch long (green one) on the wall!

    You find them alot in pencil cyprus's, the biggest I have seen was as thick as my little finger and 300mm long (as long as my pruning saw). I didnt know they could get that big! Was so big I was kinda scared of it.
