Oakleaf eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww..yuuiuuuccckkk

Long post sorry...

Speaking of being eaten alive..Some of our company's scientists do varying field surveys in the NE of Western Australia and one of thier main safety issues is..crocs.. Yep..not the sun, not weird insects or jellyfish...crocs..

The small spiders that inhabit the dark areas of our fence are normally Redbacks or Whitetails.. Cool but not as freaky as a Huntsman spider.. I've heard although 'huntsman''s aren't poisonous, they kill more people than other spiders each year..becuase of fright!!!

There's a "lake" (Herdsman lake)near our old neighbourhood(not in the boonies) and there are warning signs around the lake that say "beware of tiger snakes". Ian came accross one while biking around the lake one day & he moved out of it's way rather quickly..esp after he read more about them online!!!

Yes Australia has some rather poisonous creatures but you need some excitement in life right?

If you don't bother the creatures, they won't bother you..

*phew* long post over
