Climbing out of the water pump on a Humber 90 (about 33 years ago) after removing the radiator hose.

When I was five I bought a weta into the house. It escaped. Three months later my mother found it, on the back of a jar she had just removed from the bathroom wall-cabinet.

The screams were reported across the country... :lol:

Found one in a sump when pulling apart an engine that had been running... deep fired weta anyone?
Must have got into the sump when the engine was put together last.

I was in bed and my leg was hanging out the side because it was pretty hot one night. I moved my leg and i felt something sharp hit me, so i moved my leg over it and it felt like something was trying to climb onto me. So i turned the light to investigate... i think i set a world record for quickest person to get out of bed :lol:

huntsman in the mouth

We found a weta in the bottom of the microwave still alive and well after a good 10+ mins of zapping some food in there - resilient little(sometimes big) suckers

Not a Weta.....but the arse end of a bumble bee in the intake / carb of a Hilux, stopped the Hilux dead in its tracks

Clarkson couldn't do, but a bumble bee could :lol:

Weirdest place I've found a Weta... on my tummy. I didn't know it was there, must have hopped on off the tree by the letterbox when I got home and checked the mail, and when my b/f went to hug me hullo, Mr Weta must not have liked the squashy-ness of the situation so he bit me!

Went to a party a long time ago and we were camping in the property.

Mate went to bed fairly drunk complaining "Ow, I think something's biting me!" But we told him to shut up/stop whinging/etc.

Woke up in the morning to find a weta in his pants.
