Answer:

Giant Weta.

Native to New Zealand, female giant wetas full of eggs can weigh up to two and a half ounces. That is heavier than some bird species. Though these insects resemble a giant cricket, giant weta cannot jump due to their size. Giant weta has been around for nearly 190 million years, making them older than some dinosaurs!
