Around the world and throughout the ages has been very common the practice of owning pets. Dogs, cats and all kind of birds have always been among the most common, however, the animal that is chosen as a pet may change according likes, temperamentand psychology of who does a particular choice.
Among the most exotic and controversial known pets until now, they can be mentioned differents types of reptiles like iguanas and snakes, nevertheless thereś another ever weird category, “bugs” ...
Arthropods or invertebrate animals with exoskeleton, like spiders, scorpions, cockroaches and ants are bugs that become frequent pets in many homes. Because its appearance have been feared by many, to the point of generating syndromes of phobias. But, what about if it is chosen as a pet an insect that could be considered as the worst nightmare for an “arachnophobic”.
Giant Weta is a tyoe of cricket from New Zealand island. Is the biggest among 70 species of wetas that exist. They can weigh 71 grams and measure up to 17 centimeters. It is believed that they are
very old species, since similar Triassic fossils have been found; they lived 180 to 190 million years ago in Queensland, Australia. The Maories, a polynesian ethnic group o New Zealand call it “Werapunga” that means “god of the ugly things”. Oh wow! it becomes clear that it's not a very graceful mate.
