Oh dear, I'd be scared too, I don't like flying bugs or insects nor creepy crawly ones...will try and steer clear of that one though, it doesn't look very nice at all....eek

BTW: I think that my original image might have been used by Dame Edna's costume designer ;-)

sophie - I agree, the name is 'dodgy' sounding. Makes me wonder how it came by that name.

I've never heard of them and never seen one. I love all animals - except creepy crawlies and most humans.
