The Weta is only found in New Zealand I live in New Zealand its awesome back to the Weta it has known to how outlived the dinosaur im doing a report on them just search up Weta facts
The main difference between a grasshopper and a weta is their size and habitat. Grasshoppers are typically smaller, with slender bodies and long hind legs for jumping, while wetas are larger and heavier, with spiny legs and strong mandibles. Grasshoppers are more commonly found in grasslands and open areas, while wetas are often found in forests and shrublands.
Wetas have various adaptations to survive in their environment, such as a tough exoskeleton for protection, strong back legs for jumping, and a keen sense of smell to locate food. They can also go into a form of suspended animation when resources are scarce to conserve energy.
okay they live in an underground burrow.Some mostly live underwater
You live in the Northern Hemisphere if you live in California.
We live in the Cenozoic era.
Tree Wetas live in gardens of New Zealand, they like to live under logs, near trees, leafy places, warm moist soil and near composts, they don't go into houses so they aren't a pest, they are omnivores and prefer insects to fruit.
The sharp horn-like structure on the feet of wetas is called a tarsal claw, and it helps them to grip onto surfaces and climb effectively. This adaptation is particularly useful for wetas that live in rugged or forested habitats where climbing is necessary for survival.
The wetas enemy are the lizard (the tuatara), rats, birds, sometimes cats and dogs.
Giant wetas are native to New Zealand and can be found in forested areas, particularly on offshore islands. They prefer habitats with dense vegetation and a good supply of food sources like plants and insects. Giant wetas are nocturnal creatures and are most active at night.
slowly
Yes
Because giant wetas are more rarer than tree wetas.
Yes.
Wetas are an insect native to New Zealand that look alot like crickets but are covered in spines and are wingless...Hope this helps
Wetas are extraorinarily large members of the cricket family found only in New Zealand. Some species eat other insects, while some (notably the tree wetas) eat mostly lichens, leaves, flowers, and fruit.
hat is wetas food
The most effective way to get rid of wetas is to use an over the counter insect spray. Any type of brand will work to eradicate them.
