Only 1" long and one of NZ's most feared creepy crawley!!!!

[Steves Shots]

Here are some shots of the dreaded Tree Weta of NZ. Most peaple hate them and some peaple love them, I Myself hates them and I managed to get upclose and personal with this small one. The males can bite hard and hold their legs up in defence. They're generally afraid of nothing


In the defence position ready to attack



Relaxing position and probably the best position to view up close



And a bit off colour but still scary



If you have the stomach best veiwed inlarged

Thanks for viewing these photo's
