Wetapunga

Classification 
Weta are part of the grasshopper family. They are the heaviest insect in New Zealand.Wetas are very heavy insects they weigh as much as a small bird.

Description
They have two main eyes that have lots of small dots inside of them. They weigh up to 70 grams. They have very good camo they can blend in with anything.

Location/habitat
Wetas were found in New Zealand and lots of them have died. They have been kept in New Zealand zoos so they can keep safe. Some wetas have been brought to plenty of islands were they can hide eat and drink water.

Dynamics
Wetas do massive poos that help the environment. When wetas loose antennas they grow new ones. Female wetas lay 6 eggs at once they take one month to hatch. Wetas molt 10 times in one and a half years.

These interesting creatures do not deserve to be extinct they deserve to be free. They may be creepy and crawly but they deserve the same respect as we do
