Beakly, C., Stringer, I., Robertson, A., & Hedderly, D. (2006). Design and use of artificial refuges for monitoring adult tree weta, Hemideina crassidens and H. thoracica. DoC Research and Development Series 233, Department of Conservation, Science and Technical publishing, Wellington. (1 copy)
Artificial refuges were constructed in order to find out tree weta dwelling preferences. Tree weta were found to prefer refuges made of fresh pine, galleries with tapering terminations, holes 16-25mm diameter, et cetera...# of weta positively correlated wth # of weta in natural cavities; no diff in results between refuge locations. This article can give us some pretty decent insight into understanding ideal weta holes.
