Photos / NZME, SuppliedA Palmerston North woman received the fright of a lifetime when she discovered a bizarre insect inside the pocket of a pair of freshly purchased pants. She told the Herald that she bought the pair of Anko brand pants on Saturday from the Kmart store at The Plaza shopping centre in Palmerston North. The most educated guesses fell on the insect being a mole cricket, with many urging the woman to report the find to authorities. New Zealand only has one endemic species of mole cricket, but there are numerous species found overseas that are considered pests here.
