Weta motel

For those who don't like creepy crawlies, don't look. This is a weta motel. It helps to protect the weta from predators. They look scary, but they are harmless, gentle creatures.

I had no idea what a weta was, but I googled it. They are massive ! A bit creepy, but neat that they have their own motel !

I appreciate your interest in wetas. I am fascinated by them and think they are wonderful creatures. It has been a while since I have seen one close up, but when I do will try and do some macro shots. They are quite large!

Wow! They are huge!

@eudora Yes they are, I guess that's what makes them look a bit scary, but they are great!
