The cave wetas are only found in New Zealand. They are  so old that they outlived the dinosaurs which was more than 200 million years ago.

Cave wetas eat fruit,cardboard,plants, and insects,and much much more. Cave wetas ears are not just on the sides they are on there head like ours to. Cave Wetas use their ears to figure out which direction the noise is coming from.   

Wetas are related to grasshoppers crickets and locusts.

Female Cave wetas lay 300 eggs  their lifetime which is up to seven years and hatch around 1 to 2 months. Once the baby weta is 18 months old it will be a adult. Once a boy and a girl are partners they mate with each other. Their life cycle is about two to seven years.

Please don't harm it or take it out of its habitat because it is a  native creature.
