They are up to 40 mm long and most commonly live in holes in trees formed by beetle and moth larvae 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.[9] Tree wētā are nocturnal. Their diet consists of plants and small insects.[7] The males have much larger jaws than the females, though both sexes will stridulate and bite when threatened.」12月3日 5時08分
