Climbing Balls Pyramid is on my bucket list, hope I don't squish one of these guys when I get there...

Wait, either live with filthy, introduced vermin or live with saved from extinction, prehistoric native insects....What's the question here, am i missing something?

puredingo agree...no contest. But actually dont want to be insensitive to the ecological treasure that is the tree lobster but have found a site with some great recipes.

Amazing story of survival. It blows you away to realise how desperately a species will cling to life. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the can one day return to Lord Howe!

I swear I read a book based on (finding) these things. Bright Air, that was the name of it!
