Found this guy sheltering in our tent between the fly and main part. Was raining hard that night so he must of needed shelter.

If that fat bustard came anywhere near me, I'd be "sheltering it" under my size 11s.

I vote for a thread name change.

I noted that you can now change a thread name yourself - sans mod - until it contains a reply.

Just a common weta. Females have the longer ovipositor.

Thats not nice. We kept some when I was at primary school as classroom pets. People caught ones they found and bought them in. We had quite a larger collection at one point. We feed them slices of apples from our lunch.

We did a big study on them. From memory i think our skin burns them when we touch them. I may be wrong though, and probably am. Was probably the teachers not wanting us to play with them because she didn't like them.
