Tracheal system in the foreleg tibia reconstructed from μCT scans. Tibial trachea in (a) ground weta H. pallitarsis and (b) the tree weta H. thoracica. An anterior (AntTr) and posterior tibia (PostTr) run in the tibia, which are enlarged in the tree weta between the tympanal membranes (ty; hatched lines) as acoustic vesicles (vs). Abbreviations: at, anterior trachea; pt, posterior trachea; ty, tympanum; vs, vesicles. Scale: (a) =200 µm, (b) =500 µm.
