JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 what there are decent wetas? i suppose those two gave me a bad impression. took me a whole can of bug spray to kill em. but 'weta' wasnt on the can as targeted species...

That is probably why it took a whole can. I take it that you are a entomologist? I don't think that I would have the guts to have a job like that. Kudos to you Inyri.

Bee Hoon Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Do not like this thread! D: I used to visit a highland resort during holidays, and they had huge millipedes. And rhinoceros beetles. And moths/butterflies. All seem to be going extinct now, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litofsky Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Inyri, to semi-answer your original question, I know someone from New Zealand (she doesn't live there anymore, however. Sorry ). I mentioned the word "weta" to her, and she was suddenly excited, and mentioned that she had seen her fair share just centimeters from her. She also mentioned the word "taurate," or something with a similar spelling to that. Something of interest, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
