        After fumigation and destuffing,no others were found.
        Looks like this one traveled alone.
        When we spot live insects in INTL containers,we are required to place a fumigation device in the container to destroy any chance of infestation.
        Too many parasites travel this way and when introduced to foreign environments,they sometimes have serious consequences .

I finally got it out and flicked it away.
            That's the day they woulda found my mangled corpse wrapped around a tree, because I woulda lost it and crashed trying to get my helmet off!

              I see these guys weekly during Summer here in Melbourne. I only squash them in emergencies, as they eat cockroches. They are jumpy and can freak you out, I have to admit to squashing a couple bare-fisted in my time, not pleasant.

              Cat you did well to retain your composure on the bike! My wife had one in her car that was 15cm across, the biggest I've ever seen.
