Researchers have discovered a lipid synthesizing organ in the auditory system of a tree weta, an insect endemic to New Zealand, which has a fossil record dating back 270 million years. Very little is known about the hearing abilities and modes of communication of most weta species. Studies and observations indicate they communicate using both far-field hearing and vibration. Weta produce sound by stridulation and the calls produced are broadband with frequency peaks between 2–14 kHz, depending on the type of stridulation being produced. Weta are thought to produce four different behavioural stridulations. However, a complete repertoire of sound is only known for one weta species, Hemideina crassidens. The aim of this research project was to
