Weta 1999
330 x 500 mm
silver gelatin print.

In daylight hours cave weta like to roost in caves or at least in dark overhanging places such as under a rock. They are very quiet, in fact they have no ears and make no sound. There are 60 species of cave weta in New Zealand. They can jump 2 metres.

These cave weta are in the Waitakeres, in West Auckland and are sitting on concrete.
