Nature @ Work
Well today I've seen 2 Redbacks on our warehouse door :scared: , 6 of their eggs and a lizard (just over 300 cms) strolling across the warehouse floor.
All but the lizard got Mortein'd to death.
One question though: would the baby redbacks die in their eggs when we sprayed them?
So c'mon, who's spotted what at work?
Have a great day!

Not sure the baby redbacks would die, I would make sure using alternative methods.

Work is something us poor buggers have to do! Hopefully not for long and I still haven't checked the lotto from New Year's Eve! Oh I wish I wish I wish I wish

But the worst was when I uncovered a nest of giant Centipedes!:scared:
I HATE Centipedes!!! These ones were bloody huge, & there were loads of them. It was like something out of Dr Who!!!
Apparently, they've got a venomous bite as well...!!:scared: :scared:

Oh yuck, I hate those things! I did a camping thing out near Ayres Rock and there were always loads of them around :scared: A girl we were with got bitten/pinched by one, don't know if it was venomous, but it certainly seemed to hurt her

I did see a centipede there too ...it was wide but only probably about 5cms long! I'm glad I didn't see a giant one!!
