Auckland Cave Weta

Gymnoplectron acanthocera - Auckland Cave Weta 

I photographed this Auckland Cave Weta - Gymnoplectron acanthocera - in the Waitakere Ranges when I was out on a rainy night looking for glow worms. Cave wetas mostly come out at night, though they are often seen during the day resting in nooks in garden sheds and other dark, quiet buildings.

This one is chowing down on a small bracket fungus.
