Today some people from the Department of Conservation came. When weta hatch they need to run away as fast they can or else their brothers and sisters will eat them! The female weta lays the eggs in the soil. Once an adult has laid the eggs it will die. They can lay hundreds of eggs. They only live for about two years. Weta hide in gorse so that rats can't get them. They do not have teeth like ours, they have little ones. They can grow up to 7.5cms - that is just the body! The female has ovipositers.
