Re: Creepy things
Today I was out on Matiu / Somes Island with a largish (26!) volunteer group. The ranger introduced us to a couple of Giant Cook Strait Wetas. I couldn't pass up the opportunity and got to hold the famale. She was MASSIVE!!! Only just fit in my hand - not just palm of, fingers too! And I stroked a gecko, just like velvet.

I send hubby into the garage at night for the firewood!
The only spiders I find in the house are the daddy long legs - think pin head with long legs... easy to suck up in the vacuum never to be seen again.
