Well we do have wetas, which look a bit like a beetle - and crickets
and spiders - no really dangerous spiders though - bees and wasps -
sandflies and mosquitoes - huhu beetle and huhu grub - There are wild
pigs in the bush and deer.Oh yes, and we sometimes get sharks near
the beaches....

Oh Marianne, you haven't lived until you've been terrorized by a dangerous
spider! That's what I left out before...we have some really nasty spiders
here in Western Washington. The brown recluse, the gray recluse, the black
widow... A large black one got me once. Made me hallucinate. We have to be
very careful in the wooded areas.
