This beetle seems to be dangerous.

This is an interesting insect! It reminds me of a blend of a cricket and a grasshopper.
Happy New Year! Have a wonderful week ahead!
I love them - they are so weird
Never heard of this - off to google more!
A very cute insect!
Thank you for showing us a Weta. That's a good picture of it.
And thank you for hosting MCoW, Betty. :)
Eeek! So glad they can't be found in my corner of the world!
Happy Wednesday, Betty!
eek! looks like a locust or grasshopper we have here. Ugh! Enjoy your week and thankyou again for the linkup.
What a strange creature! Strange! I'm curios if the little fellow jumps!
Happy WW and a fine week! ❤️😘
Looks wonderful
Thanks a lot for hosting :)
That's interesting that there is one insect that only lives in New Zealand. It looks like a cockroach. Thanks for the party.
Oh what an Insect ..
greetings Kirsi
Dear Betty,
oh yes, I have seen some NZ-photos of wetas - they are apparently PRETTY LARGE specimens of "hayhoppers"...
All the best, Traude
