No spiders in NZ, they are all in OZ!

matthewsavin

you in nz or a fitter

cadman

nope! neither, just what I've read about spiders etc. cos I'm not too keen either (and we're going to OZ)

You get big hairy hunstmans which are the arachnoid equivilent to a cow. Big, hurts you if one lands on you, but pretty much harmless.

In NZ its the white tails that you want to avoid, and more so the Bull ants.

Bull ants are the biggest, scariest meanest ants you are ever likely to see. They can get to about 30mm, and i swear about 25mm of that length is the size of thier jaws. The scariest bit however......is that they will actually go for you. Yes. These buggers will chase you halfway around the countryside. Nice.

i been thinking about both places aswell oz is easier to get into but if a snake or big spider bold into my bed or me car id have a hart failure missis dont mind them but dont know if ill deal with it depends how many u see but gotta be a better life

In all honesty, in aus....you will see spiders on the same kind of frequency you get spiders in the house here in the UK.

We are always getting house spiders etc in the bath, in corners etc.

Its just over there they can be bigger, and can be harmful.

As long as you repect them and don't go picking them up etc, you would be fine. Don't let the wildlife put of off emigrating.

matthewsavin

do you get all these big boys in the house

PeteY

Yes you definatly will......

I spent 8 months in aus, and we had in that time about 7 or 8 hunstmen in the house. Maybe a couple more.

They won't hurt you though....

I don't think huntsmen are quite as common in NZ.

i hear what your saying about ignoring them and we got the hump with england so much hopefully it will out wiegh it but would be sick if we go all the way out there and couldn't handle it do u live in oz or nz

PeteY
