The scientific name of a weta varies depending on the specific species, as "weta" refers to several large, flightless insects belonging to the family Anostostomatidae. Some well-known species include the giant weta, scientifically named Deinacrida heteracantha. Wetas are native to New Zealand and are notable for their size and unique adaptations.
