I hate bugs but this is a success story I love. Nature found a way.

The important thing, the scientists thought, was to get a few of these insects protected and into a breeding program.

Where, they wondered, did that poop come from?

A question as old as time itself...

very happy for the bugs, but that thing is utterly terrifying. But then weta give me the heebie-jeebies as well, and everybody seems to love them.

I do not like bugs, but rock lobster is an excellent name and I'm glad these guys exist.
