New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta, which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. Its easy to see why anyone would call this
9、 insect a bad-looking bug. Most people feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的),slow-moving creatures.Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A gaint weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 ounces. Giant wetas can hop up to
10、 two feet at a time. Some of them live in trees, and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects, and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets, wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts together, or against their lower
11、 bodies.Most people probably dont feel sympathy for these endangered(濒危) creatures, but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs, and have envolved(进化) and survived in an environment where they had no enemies until rats came t
12、o the island with European immigrants(移民). Since rats love to hunt and eat wetas, the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence, and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.21.
