Weta

"Weta is the name given to about 70 insect species endemic to New Zealand."  There are tree weta, cave weta, ground weta, tusked weta and giant weta.  One weta (I'm guessing a ground weta) was in a friend's house.  It was dead, probably brought in by their dog.

The pencil is for scale.  Not sure I want to come across a giant weta.
