The ones we have here can’t bite anything. If they get scared their only defense mechanism is to jump straight at the threat and hope to scare it away lol
Yeah, I have a deep-seated irrational fear of bugs large enough to “pop” when you step on them, and I think it stems from growing up around these monstrosities. They’re not as bad as bugs in a lot of places, but goddamn does it hurt to get bit by them, especially as a child.
Oh. No, thank you.
We have a similar bug here called a cave cricket! They look similar but cave crickets are harmless lol
Not venomous or anything, but if it’s the same cave cricket or “spider cricket” we have here then they will also bite the shit out of you.

They look like a pale version of our Weta.
But our bugs are chill. Little jumpy and spiky though.
