The Weta

A Weta is a very large insect, some Weta's even considered to be the largest and heaviest in all of the World. Their appearance resembles a cockroach and cricket but in addition has extremely long legs. Here's what a Weta looks like:

 

A Weta likes to eat other small invertebrates but a particular group of Weta bugs like to eat leaves, flowers and fruit. Weta bugs do bite humans and they can be extrememly painful but being bitten by a Weta bug is uncommon...as long as you don't bother it!
