its not the tarantulas you have to worry about
they generally pack less poison in a bite than a bad wasp sting

its the little fuckers you have in your country you need to watch out for.

Having been stung by 30 european wasps
at once (ours don't sting they're very placid), I'd rather not find out if that's allright!

I hate spiders. Word of advice. NOWHERE IS SAFE in Australia when it comes to spiders. Up north - they're fucking huge and deadly, Down south, down here? They're sly and hideous and the ones no bigger then your thumbnail can kill you in less then 24 hours.
