I love bugs on the whole, and the more ostentatious they are, the better.  My sister sent me an article about a bug I'd never seen before - the giant wetapunga of New Zealand.  I'd not realized why the Weta Workshop has a mascot that looks like a cricket, you see.  It turns out that the wetapunga is pretty much a giant cricket.  Take a gander at this awesome bug!

World's Biggest Bug

...Yes, I realize that Goliath Beetles have more mass than wetapungas, so it's *among* the largest bugs in the world.  Can you imagine the evening serenade?  I bet it would be the cricket equivalent of a rock concert!
