Known as Wally Weta cos' its a boy instead of Wilamina Weta if it's a girl.

I think the one shown is a tree weta because it lives under decks (and other places).

Harmless, but not the sort of thing you want to find in yer knickers...

I recall seeing a Wetas when I was working at Manapouri power station. Deep underground. It was probably quite a nice environment for them. Nicer little dudes than the sand flies at the surface. I'm back on the other side of the planet and still have sand fly nightmares.
