      "extract": "The huhu beetle is a longhorn beetle endemic to New Zealand. It is a large, visually distinctive species whose adults reach up to five cm (2 in) in length. It is widespread throughout New Zealand, occurring up to 1,400 m (4,600 ft) in altitude. Although it is unable to eat as an adult, the larva feeds and burrows in the dead wood of trees, almost entirely feeding on gymnosperms such as rimu and Monterey pine. As a larva, it can grow to sizes of 50–70 mm (2.0–2.8 in) and has a cylindrical appearance with a creamy colour. During this stage, which is high in protein and fat, it is edible and has been described as tasting similar to peanut butter. It has a history of consumption by the Māori, with the larva being consumed either raw or traditionally cooked in a hāngī.",
