I am "friends" with NPR on Facebook, saw this posting a few days ago, and bookmarked it to read later, but it was your blog post that reminded me. What a great story!
I wish they had a picture of the tree lobster couples sleeping like some human couples do - that might melt the hearts of the Lord Howe Islanders. (Or not - sometimes I have to remind myself that other people do not have the same feelings about insects as I do.)
Giant fleas on dinosaurs? I haven't heard about that one, have to look it up.
You know, even if these insects don't bite, I wouldn't want to meet one in my bed at night. But they can certainly be allowed to live in my garden under bushes.
