Bugs and crawlers


The landscape in New Caledonia looks like Australia - it's red and scrubby.  So cos it looks so much like Australia (and probably broke off from the Ozzy continent) I thought there would be lots of snakes and bugs here.

BUT - there aren't any snakes.  There's a sleepy boa that lives out on the Loyalty Islands but that's it! There are some freaky centipedes and some big spiders but nothing too nasty.  Here's a pic of an impressive spider that we had a good look at on Mare.
