The Tree Weta has 6 legs.
Do crickets? I don't know that's why I asked.
A weta is an invertebrate

A Weta is an invertebrate.
It has six legs, three major segments, and an exoskeleton. I defiantly think does belong in the insect family.
Head, thorax, and abdomen, excluding antennae and legs: up to approximately 15cm or 6 in. Up to approximately 37cm or 16in, including antennae and legs.
Raising both spiny hind legs and giving a swift, strong kick to the threatening source is the first reaction of a frightened giant weta insect ['Deinacrida spp']. Both reaction and appearance work to the giant weta's advantage. Specifically, the insect may reach an adult size of 4 inches [10 centimeters]. That figure just takes in the head, thorax and abdomen. The legs and the antennae each may add the equivalent in length to such already intimidating dimensions. Additionally, the hind legs are particularly strong and powerful.
Weta Digital was created in 1993.

Yes, there is a species of weta with wings, called the flying weta, we have seen a couple at our place, they have very thin wings. Obviously if a weta you see doesn't have wings, its not of the flying variety.
Weta Workshop was created in 1987.
