单词	weta
释义	weta /ˈwɛtə / noun A large brown wingless insect related to the grasshoppers, with long spiny legs and wood-boring larvae, found only in New Zealand. Family Stenopelmatidae: several genera, including Deinacrida (the giant wetas). Tuataras are primarily nocturnal predators of arthropods, especially those associated with sea bird colonies, and tree wetas (giant New Zealand orthopterans).... A session conducted by this well-known entomologist attracted more than three hundred children who laughed hysterically as he let George the weta and other insects crawl across his face and even into his mouth. All the wetas I've seen have been tree wetas and I've seen them hidden under flaps of bark. Origin Mid 19th century: from Maori.
