Hemiandrus bilobatus, the Cook Strait ground wētā, is a species of ground wētā endemic to New Zealand.[1] Being a ground wētā, they are often found in burrows in the ground during the daytime (as they are nocturnal). The species is found in Wellington, on Mana Island and northern South Island and is classified as "Not Threatened".[2] This species of wētā is unusual for an insect in that the female shows maternal care. She lays about 50 eggs in the same burrow she uses during the day and looks after her eggs until they hatch[3].

Taxonomy

Hemiandrus bilobatus was first described in 1938. The specific name refers to the two lobes on the ventral surface of the abdominal tergites of adult females.[3] Hemiandrus bilobatus probably includes populations of ground wētā found in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough previously referred at as Hemiandrus "promontorius" or "Cape Campbell"[4][3][5]

Habitat/distribution

Hemiandrus bilobatus are endemic to the Wellington and Marlborough regions of New Zealand. They are often found in burrows in the ground during the day, and are only active at night.[6] During the night they are quite active on the ground, but are also found in on tree trunks and foliage.

Conservation

The New Zealand Department of Conservation classified this species as not threatened.[2]

Diet

Hemiandrus bilobatus are omnivorous. They have been observed eating invertebrates such as Deinacrida rugosa (giant weta), moths and beetle larvae and feeding on the young buds of grape vines. [7][8] Control of ground wētā in vineyards has been tried using a number of approaches, the most effective method being a layer of mussel shells under the vines.[9]

Morphology

Cook Strait ground wētā females have a very short ovipositor.[3]

Behavior

Hemiandrus biolobatus come out of their burrows at night.[10] During mating males provide the female with a nuptial food gift[6]. The females share burrows with their eggs and care for nymphs.[7]
