EEEEEK!!!

Since our caving adventures in Waitomo, we now manage to explore every crevice that possibly resembles a cave that we may happen upon on a hike. These are some friends we've met:





They are called Cave Wetas (though we were sure the guy was saying Cave Widows but it was just his accent – we learned that after visiting the museum). They are like giant grasshoppers and won't hurt you.....it's fortunate someone told us this BEFORE happening upon them, or there surely would have been two screaming Americans running wildly down the trail! (Okay.....probably only one)
