Deinacrida heteracantha, also known as Wetapunga, is a weta in the Order Orthoptera and Family Anostostomatidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and currently only found on Little Barrier Island and several smaller predator-free island conservation areas. This very large cricket mainly feeds at night, but is also active during the day, when it can be found aboveground in vegetation. It has been classified as vulnerable by the IUCN due to ongoing population declines and restricted distribution. Order: Orthoptera, Family: Anostostomatidae, Genus: Deinacrida, Species: Deinacrida heteracantha White, 1842. |
