Seems to me that whitetails bite for a past-time. I always thought if you left a spider alone it wouldn't bother you. Maybe that's not the case with whitetails and redbacks....![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
My dh saw a spider on Garden Island the other day that was as big as his hand. Said he'd never seen one so big before. I'm just glad I wasn't with him... :scared:

As long as they keep off me and away from me will leave well alone but if on me or near me they are either out the door or out of this world.
I've seen what the bites turn into and I don't want one of them.
