The insects you don't usually see
You usually have to go into the bush to find the native species.
About 18,000 of these live in New Zealand and nowhere else in the world!
Just as New Zealand has special birds like the kiwi, it has special insects like the giant wētā and the giraffe weevil, that are found only here.
and there is much more out there to be discovered . . . !
