Found a bat in a meter socket once, the lights must have really flickered when he made contact. For the curious the socket was fed from the top with EMT but SEU was run out the bottom and the connector was loose. Not much room in that connector but appeared to be the only way in.

I would rather find that than some of the things I have found. Last year I opened an electrical shutoff box that has never been used that was filled to the brim with wasps.

I learned how amazing brake parts cleaner is at killing wasps though.

Found his cousin once in the switch gear at a pump station. There was a spare 3-inch conduit that had been left covered with electrical tape. A mouse got past the tape and traveled down 150-ft of conduit to get in the gear and short across the busses.

He was turned inside out as he vaporized. He also generated enough steam to blow the doors off the cabinet. It changed my whole concept of how dangerous things are.
