No they're actually rather common

, they're just normally better at putting their camouflage to use by lurking in the undergrowth!

Must admit, I've never seen one of these myself and though at first that it was some foreign 'invasive'.
Love the thread title, Charles.

That creature could field at either the long leg boundary or in the short leg position couldn`t it ?
