anyone ever seen one of these 'tree lobsters' in the wild?

I think I saw one last night, and it's supposed to be one of the rarest insects in the world. I don't know what else it could have been. It looked just like this.

I don't want to sound like an idiot, and it might be too late for that, but it was crawling up a door frame in my mom's house, and I had to take it outside. I had never seen anything like it. I got it to crawl into a cup and I tossed it outside, and I just saw a NY Times article about it, and I'm feeling like I might have witnessed something special.

If it’s actually what you posted I think they only are on some small island off the coast of New Zealand no?

That's where OP lives, so this is no big deal.

There's got to be some native species that is VERY similar to it.

You sure it wasn't one of those huge black grasshoppers?

Rare or not, I'd have probably put a few hollow points through that thing.

That’s fricking gross step on it

Was it a Musk Mare?
These are common and they suck. Got spit in the eye by one when I was a kid and hated them ever since. They smell bad too hence the "Musk" name.

It could very well have been one of these. That would make more sense.

Shouldn’t you be manning the back exit of a bar?
