……..wetas are beautifully engineered.
They have used the last 100 million years without the usual modern predators to evolve into large flightless insects occupying a number of niches. This process is called adaptive radiation and a common ancestor has evolved to occupy different ecological niches
There are around 100 species of weta divided into 5 groups
- giant weta
- tree weta
- ground weta
- tusked weta
- cave weta
The unfortunate weta I took photos of is a female tree weta

This process results in the speciation and phenotypic adaptation,and the main thing of the process is the different ecological niches,so the videos tells it all about the exceptional and extraordinary work,really this is an superb and magnificent work by making the insect with the modern techniques,i really like it and loves it too.
