Interesting Animal Fact #8:: God of the ugly things



You might be wondering, "who is the god of the ugly things". well, it is a type of grasshopper known as weta. There are over 100 species of weta in New Zealand. It is flightless and nocturnal which means it is active during the night. Some wetas are good jumpers like the tree weta and some are not like the giant weta. The giant weta is huge and often outweighs a mouse. They call it the god of the ugly things because it looks very ugly for most people. The Maori people gave this name to the weta.
