Not to mention they bite hard enough that it hurts and makes you bleed. Not seriously but still... you need to put on a patch after they bite.

"Why bats, Mr Wayne?" "Bats frighten me, Alfred. It's time my enemies share my dread." If Peter is squeamish about bugs, it makes sense that he's going to have THAT FREAKING BUG SCENE in King Kong. Because there was a scene like that in the original print of the very first Kong movie in 1933. Which later got cut because too many people literally lost their dinner and/or walked out of the theater. I mean - to OUR sensibilities that 30s spider scene is NOTHING. But Peter Jackson saw it, and... well - I imagine it went rather like the line above from Batman Begins. I also imagine it was a "Hold my beer, I'm gonna do what's known as a pro film maker move here."

Ah Wetas, if you've lived in NZ you probably have a Weta story. My Nana woke with one in her hair once. My Dad tells a story about when he was taking a shower and reached up to grab the soap (this shower had beams above it oddly enough) and he grabbed a weta. Being surprised by these buggers is a family trend.

wetas have no relation to any living insects in Australia , before New Zealand separated from Australia and Antarctica over 80 million years ago the ancestors of wetas were in all of these places but apart from New Zealand they died out . basically what I'm saying is the weta is literally the worst animal to remind us of how close New Zealand and Australia is what they really remind off is how long we have been separated for
