Spider in the hole!

[Bally002]

I checked with the large English spiders that inhabit my garage and they all agreed that their antipodean
arachnid cousins are really bad hombres. It's said that that Aussie spiders regularly rent videos of MS-13
for their comedic aspects.


Some facts are straight forward black-and-white, Michigan Swamp Buck is dead on the money with his
suggestion and I'm sure it's written in a Hebrew text somewhere that Australia is where God put all the
worst human-tormenting shoe-dwelling critters.

But I may be in error on that last part.

That's right.  I tend to leave the spiders alone except ones I identify as poisonous.  Plenty of Red Backs around here and the odd Funnel Web.  I dispatch them, not just for me but for the others and the animals.

Quite a few snakes this time of year and again I tend to leave them alone except when the poisonous variety get into the house.  The Pythons are fine.

I have a particular dislike for the large centipieds.  Creepy wriggly critters they are.  Nasty stinging bite too.  

Foots fine now, just itchy.  Ironic that my mailbox is a  large milk can painted like a Red-back spider and mounted on a steel web with garden tongs for fangs.  Crafted by the previous owner who suffered from the fangs of one.

I kid you not.

Bally,

Good that you're recovering.  Sounds like the American West ... scorpions etc. can get into footwear.

Cheers--

Thanks mate.  Haha.  I have a scorpion story too when I was out in the desert and a frightening late night (as a cop) encounter with a screaming woman who had a giant cockroach enter her private parts and was burrowing deeper.

I...I...I .....didn't know what to do.  Delivered her to the clinic.  It was hard to explain to the nurse what the symptoms were as the woman kept screaming unintelligibly.  Poor lady.
