What an amazingly large insect. I am always happy to see interesting wildlife. Thanks for the information.
I like your little friend!
I love those guys, use to find them at a house I use to live in.
What an ugly thing on the wood!
Wow, that is a very old species. But I am not sure if I should like them.
All the best

It looks ready to jump but I guess that might just be the way the legs sit...great close up!
Interesting critter find!
That looks like a giant Grasshopper! Food for the birds?
Looks like a cross between a cockroach and a grasshopper!
Happy Wednesday, Betty!
What a strange creature! New for me. Thank you for the link!
Happy WW and a fine week ahead!
That is a new insect species for me. I really enjoyed the informative videos
Interesting! Thanks for hosting.
Dear Betty,
I don't know the word "weta" - is that a grasshopper? Looks huge!
Warm July greetings and all the best, Traude

Hello,
It is new to me, it reminds me of a grasshopper.
Take care, enjoy your day!

It was nice to see the Weta and get to read a little bit about it. Thank you.
Thank you for hosting MCoW, too. :)
Never heard of it! I am going to have to look it up! Have a great week!
WOW!! I've never heard or read of it. They are looking so amazing and it is good that the interest ranged to preserve them.
Fabulous photos! Bonjour from me over in Normandie France. Looking forward to popping back again soon...
