Mark Moffett’s find is the world's biggest insect in terms of weight, which at 71g is heavier than a sparrow and three times that of a mouse.
The 53-year-old former park ranger discovered the giant weta up a tree and his real life Bug's Bunny has now been declared the largest ever found.

He came across the cricket-like creature, which has a wing span of seven inches, after two days of searching on a tiny island.
The creepy crawly is only found on Little Barrier Island, in New Zealand, although there are 70 other types of smaller weta found throughout the country.The giants of the species were wiped off the mainland by rats accidentally introduced by Europeans.

I forget who has the signature line about that, only with spiders.

Old, but holy shit those pictures kill it die.
 
I'd freak out in real life, but that picture is kinda cute. It's like a bunny rabbit in that carrot pic.
 
I wonder if it has links to Pre-historic times and maybe it was around when the dinos were
 
And sure as rain, a weta shows up in the kitchen tonight. Ffffff.
 
This is cool, but am I the only one a little surprised that this is the biggest insect?
 
That's like millions of years old, still likes a [STRIKE]hobnob[/STRIKE] carrot.

A bit. I always though goliath bird eaters were the biggest. They look roughly the same size as this weta anyway. If not a little bit smaller.

Hmm, looks like a job for by spiked boots! *crack* *squash*
