The Weta is only found in New Zealand and is so old it has outlived the dinosaurs.
Weta are large by insect standards. Some of the giant Weta are enormous and are amongst the heaviest insects in the world
The Weta is sometimes called the dinosaur of the insect world
The Weta is more primitive than the tuatara. The Weta has changed very little in the past 100 million years.
Weta have their ears on their front knees and can feel the vibrations of noises around them.
