WETA!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen...I've seen my first giant tree weta.
The weta is an insect only found in New Zealand, and is older than dinosaurs! It's huge and freaky looking, and it's most recent claim to fame is being what Peter Jackson named his Weta Workshop after.
So last night, my flatmate Gerard and found one underneath a rocking chair he and his partner Jo bought at a second-hand shop.
Ick!
