Tree wētā live in holes or tunnels, called galleries. These galleries are initially created and abandoned by other insects, but once the wētā move in, they maintain the gallery by chewing away bark around the opening. Tree wētā are social creatures. A gallery can have a number of young wētā and females but only one male. The males defend their gallery from competing males. When threatened, wētā wave their spiky hind legs to frighten and/or scratch invaders and predators. They also hiss and bite. Female tree wētā can look pretty threatening, too. They have an ovipositor for laying eggs, but it looks like a very large stinger!
