Imagine if you meet the giant weta, jumbo-sized insects. With a body weight of 71 grams, giant weta size three times larger than a mouse, and two times larger than the bird murai-- as a comparison, the size of a guinea pig.
Weta, which is deemed to have been extinct, was discovered by a scientist, Mark Moffet. The insect was found in a tree in New Zealand, and was dubbed Bugs Bunny for his take on this Carrot, weta insects declared the largest ever found.
Moffet and his team found an insect shaped Mirik crickets after two days of
searching on an island. These animals are found only on Little Barrier Island, although there are 70 other species of Weta smaller spread across the country.
Weta are large already extinct from the mainland, because mice inadvertently imported from Europe.
After Moffett discovered the giant weta size, she fed him carrots before returning it to the wild.
"We walked on the trails of the island for two nights, researching the vegetation for a giant weta size. For hours we search in vain. Then I found it on the tree." Moffet said quoted by the Daily Mail.

"He seems to be able to spend a carrot in quick time. But the giant weta rare and we do not want to take risks he exposed indigestion." Moffett said.
Weta is an animal with the same Order to grasshoppers, Orthoptera, although the giant weta is the result of endemic Island gigantism, aka increasing the size of certain types of animals whose habitat is isolated
