Lol a Weta is a type of insect native to New Zealand. The ones that are hard to kill are listed as hard to kill in part because they are infested with a parasite that will basically enslave the insect, taking control of its nervous system (or something), and forcing it to behave in certain ways - often even after death

Also @BlazingFrags since I think you like Lord of the rings - apparently the director interrupted filming a bit one day after he started freaking out and when people looked over it was because he had a Weta on his leg. Apparently he's not the biggest fan of bugs

(Somewhat ironic since the company that did the sfx for the trilogy was Weta Workshops, and he put several giant insects in King Kong)
