    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!

    That's interesting that there is one insect that only lives in New Zealand. It looks like a cockroach. Thanks for the party.

    Dear Betty,
    oh yes, I have seen some NZ-photos of wetas - they are apparently PRETTY LARGE specimens of "hayhoppers"...
    All the best, Traude
