carrot. The insect is called a Weta Bug and has a huge wing span of seven
inches and weighs as much as three mice.
An entomologist Mark Moffett, 55, discovered the cricket-like creature up a tree
on New Zealand’s Little Barrier Island. He spent two days searching for the
creepy crawly which were thought to be extinct after Europeans brought rats to
the island many years ago.
“This became all the more amazing when we realised that this was the largest
insect recorded.” Mark said.
