Weta

 

Both sides of the wall throughout the pathway which leads to Hokitika beach are lined with different artwork from artists, I think once in a while new ones replace the current ones. This one is titled "Weta" by Karyn Roberts. I love these insects, I've seen some big and small ones over the years. They are harmless, non poisonous and do not hurt people but they can bite if you bother them.

Linking up with Monday Murals and Mosaic Monday.

On the side of the Event Cinema building in Whangarei is this cute mural of a cat looking at a native Weta. I'm guessing if you've never seen this insect before you'd think its scary but they are totally harmless and just have a little bite to them. This mural was painted by Swift Mantis as part of the Street Arts Manaia Festival.
