Nature’s nocturnal nurturer.

Auckland

NZ is a wētā wonderland and we'd like to keep it that way. Without these miniature monsters, we'd lose many important native plants and animals, which would upset our ecosystem balance.

With over 75% of our indigenous species at risk of extinction*, the Pest Free Waitākere Ranges Alliance is raising funds to help defend the many special species of the Waitākere Ranges.

Thank you for your support of this fascinating creepy-crawly!
