Deinacrida elegans
''Deinacrida elegans'' is a species of weta in family Anostostomatidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
==Description==
''Deinacrida elegans'' is a species of weta, one of New Zealand’s largest terrestrial invertebrates. The genus ''Deinacrida'' comprises a diverse group of 11 species of weta, with ''D. elegans'' being one of the seven species that lives in the South Island. Their size and description can be associated with their slow life history and speciation. This particular species is moderately large but is outstanding in colour patterns and is unique to the rocky bluffs on the eastern side of the Southern Alps.
''D. elegans'' has a handsome appearance, hence the Latin name ''elegans'', meaning neat and elegant. This species of weta is moderately large, long-legged and steel grey with distinctive red, black and white banded femora. The male ''D. elegans'' weighs 80g, with the considerably larger female weighing between 114-165g. ''D. elegans'' has a brown, mirror-patterned thorax with smooth, rounded, pale grey edges. Black antenna, 2.5 times the total body length, extrude from the striped greyish brown head capsule.
Between juvenile and adult stages, ''D. elegans'' change little in their appearance other than their colouration. The juvenile weta are largely black with white spines and leg joints, and as they mature, they assume their dark brown, red and grey pigmentation.
