The biggest insect by Adam

The biggest insect is the Weta. It is so big it can eat carrots. Mark, the person who discovered the weta, discovered the giant weta up a tree.

The creepy crawly is only found on Little Barrier Island, in New Zealand.

The species were wiped off the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.
