It really sounds as if sales are being discouraged on this site but they are very free with their info on the topic. Many images as you scroll down. As I biked past a neighbour's, loaded down with groceries yesterday, I noticed her outside doing something and asked her about it when we met in town this morning. She suggested this site as a good way to explain what she was up to. She has also inveigled a good man to do the work of cutting out blocks with grooves so that they can put up some of these home made condos at a local school. https://sites.google.com/site/hutchingsbeeservice/mason-bee-condos-for-sale |

We have mason bees here of course ... but for educational purposes the Weta is the prime specimen. A Weta (full name wetapunga = god of ugly things) is a unique NZ insect ... older than than the dinosaurs, and like the short-tailed bat takes the mouse (mammal) niche in NZ ecology. It is a kind of grasshopper and can jump, and looks really fearsome (but isn't) and makes a scratching, grating, sound when disturbed. Weta Workshop made all the intricate props for the LOTR and Hobbit movies. Weta Hotel Posted Image The Wottenwood Weta Song |
