Spider Photo's..............

This maybe so Byo, but remember that you were brought up with these nasty scary things, most of us were not, all we have is basically tiny spiders that don't do any harm or leave no threat, in comparison anyway. So you have had time and experience to get used to these monsters, we are only starting out!!!

The first time I saw a huntsman spider I was literally struck dumb. I hate spiders too and this one was on my husbands chest (he was working in the garden cutting down trees) and he didn't know it was there!

The second time one was near the hinge on the front door and My Dad decided to prod it so it went into the house!!! I was on my way and had to leave so when I got back I was looking around for it and couldn't find it! Eventually found it and managed to get it out with the helpof a bowl and a piece of cardboard. They may be harmless but the size of them is incredible especially since in the UK I've never seen a spider that big!

Regards,
Karen

Aah, Aussie horror stories. Yeah, spiders... You get a lot of Red-backs even in the city.

We've also had dugites in the house. one was so small my sister thought it was a hair elastic on the floor and almost picked it up.

Bushfires, they're a big scary one. We had to evacuate once when a fire came within 50m of the house, my cousin's house completely burnt down last year. Even the mortar between the bricks melted. They found two little drops of gold which were his parents wedding rings.

Oh, and kangaroos, they're an underrated danger. Our labrador once chased a buck kangaroo, it jumped into the dam and the dog followed, so the roo grabbed it and held it underwater until the dog drowned.

(we still ride them to school though ;P)

The best advice for avoiding spiders is to put all the windows in your car up when you park it overnight. I'll always remember the time I was driving along and suddenly my sister starts pointing at me and screaming that I've got something on my shoulder.
