Tree wētā ( Hemideina) are commonly encountered in suburban settings in New Zealand's North Island. They are up to 40mm long and most commonly live in holes in trees formed by beetle and moth larvae [21] or where rot has set in after a twig has broken off. The hole, called a gallery, is maintained by the wētā and any growth of the bark surrounding the opening is chewed away. They readily occupy a preformed gallery in a piece of wood (a "wētā motel") and can be kept in a suburban garden as pets. A gallery might house a harem of up to 10 adult females and one male. [8] Tree wētā are nocturnal. Their diet consists of plants and small insects. [6] The males have much larger jaws than the females, though both sexes will stridulate and bite when threatened.
