I was incredibly daring and took a photo of the stick insect:
It’s blurry because I didn’t want to get too close in case it flew at me (umm, if they even fly) – and look, see how its mouth is open. Totally waiting to bite me.
When David (the Australian of this partnership) saw it he confirmed it was a stick insect, that they were not in any way harmful – he is told they make good pets, if you want a pet that doesn’t do anything – and that I am a bit of a princess who needs to stop reading Things that will Kill You in Australia Volume 19.
So I was wrong this time, but at least I’m prepared.
