I often think the English settlers who came to Australia must have found the bush here just terrifying.

When I was a kid I was terrified of bees until I got stung and realised it wasn't THAT bad, and my fear disappeared. Not keen to try same method with a huntsman though.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-52124904769986030102014-03-13T19:05:32.879+11:002014-03-13T19:05:32.879+11:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jackie Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322613989851869319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-77182147683594176602014-03-13T19:04:00.571+11:002014-03-13T19:04:00.571+11:00Sure, it was HILARIOUS....

As far as he is concerned the only good spider is a dead spider. He just drowns them in spray if I am not there to take them outside for him. Or flattens them. The irony? He has never been bitten. I, the spider saviour of the house, have been fanged twice.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-45977692428499393062014-03-12T03:29:02.001+11:002014-03-12T03:29:02.001+11:00It was probably not very funny to you, but i am st...It was probably not very funny to you, but i am still laughing...is that wrong?joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-82164342961889557772014-03-12T00:07:02.085+11:002014-03-12T00:07:02.085+11:00That spider did a good job of finishing off your f...That spider did a good job of finishing off your free time for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-20019842900657048472014-03-11T23:58:14.986+11:002014-03-11T23:58:14.986+11:00It is clearly a cockroach spider, which will be th...It is clearly a cockroach spider, which will be the only survivor of a nuclear attack.
