"Hello Little Bug"

Guess what Storm and Jackson found on the table one morning?
A bug.
They looked it up in a bug book and discovered it was ...a tree weta.
This is what we found out about the tree weta.
They live in...forests, orchards and gardens, especially in firewood sheds.
They hide in holes in trees in the day.
They come out at night.
They eat fresh leaves and some little insects.
The males rub their back legs against their body to make a noise.
They have ears...just below the knee of their front legs.
They can live for as long as...8years.
They get eaten by...birds, cats and rats.
There are 7 kinds of tree wēta that we know about in New Zealand.
