Lots of cave weta, vary in size
Seen at Makarora young birders camp organised by ABT
photo from Caiden B with permission, we all saw this weta, I for whatever reason just happened to have not taken a photo...
Are they doing the thing…
Caught with a sweep net in grass
Tiny cricket-like insect in a cucumber flower- very small bumblebee in shot
Whenever I see a species I have ID'd before, but not seen in person, it's always a surprise how much smaller or bigger they are than I expect! I really thought this would be about the same size as a black field cricket.
A tiny cricketty thing approx. 1.2cm long not including antennae. Played dead at first - that's why the first two images look different.
About 11 mm head to wingtip end. On wall near light.
