C is for Cave Weta: another strange New Zealand endemic

Seeing our first Cave Weta
Wow, such super long antennae!.
As we entered Aranui Cave in a chamber called the Butcher Shop, because the formations look like carcasses hanging from the ceiling, our guide showed us the Cave Wetas, suspended among the stalactites on their thin spindly legs.
Another weirdly wonderful New Zealand endemic.
