The Giant Weta, found on an island of New Zealand, is the heaviest and largest insect in the world. This insect is about 3.4 inches in length, and can have a wingspans of about 7 inches. This thing is HUGE! It is a relative of the grasshopper and cricket. These insects grow so large, partially due to the fact that on the island they are found on there are not many predators to this insect. These guys are mainly herbivorous, but they can eat some insects. They are also nocturnal, so don't go wondering at night in New Zealand... haha just kidding, these guys are harmless to us! The size alone is what frightens most people!
