Only in New Zealand!

It's a Weta. Native to New Zealand and harmless. They feed on rotting vegetation. The spike at the back is an ovipositor as this is a female.

Ewwwwwwww...... Thats Minging..

I find them absolutely fascinating. They have a weird sort of robotic walk.

That's a good point. Maybe she was looking fro somewhere to lay eggs?

How did you take the picture?

Do you go to the toilet with a camera?

Was this gonna be another RobClubley HowTo?

I take it you wiped your arse with your hand, got the camera... err

SWMBO noticed it while she was in there. And suggested that I go have a look. After she'd vacated the room, before you all start.

Wetas aren't noted for their speediness

Though they can jump a couple of metres when they want to!

If I saw that anywhere near me I'd have an absolute fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(

That's not even a big one! The one above is at the bottom right for comparison.

Though it is the biggest found in the NZ mainland.

I tell you what - after looking at that I aint no-way going to New Zealand!

I had enough of stuff like that in Sri Lanka where I had close encounters with massive cockroaches and big spiders on the loo!

You just bloody well had to do it didn’t you!!! Why not a baby Kiwi :(

It's very rare to see weta.

And NZ is awesome - everyone should visit.

Awwwwww :) :) Now that would be nicer to find in your bathroom.

I love Wetas but you could of at least taken a photo of a medium or large size one. :yes:

When I was a kid we used to quite often find them inside peoples wooden letterboxes. It was often nice and damp in there with an assortment of dead bugs and spiders.

My mrs would runa mile if she saw that.
