Praying Mantis Vs. Weta

Today we observed and discussed the NZ Weta. Many of us had never seen one up close before. It led to some interesting discussion and many questions.

Can you spot the weta in the picture below??

We also wondered who would 'win' in a conflict between the weta and our big praying mantis. We were so interested we even took a vote on it!!

I wonder who will be right? What do you think will happen in the insect farm tomorrow!!!???

P.S. if you are wondering... below is how large a giant weta is:
