Massive bug Sarah plucked off the tree. They make grass hopper style noises in the night. Cheeky little fellas eh?
We were told by Sarah that this is a Giant Weta, there’s a few different variations of the Weta and I don’t think this is the giantest as they do get pretty damn giant, the biggest insects on the planet apparently. Glad that Sarah was happy to be hand model for this shot, errgh…
amazing tails from the trails guys!!! so glad you got back in the water (although i didn’t doubt it for a second) – looks idyllic along the river now :-) bugs ‘n’ all!
that’s the smallest weta ive ever seen :) they come a lot bigger than that
