Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

They must of been there the whole time we've been here i've seen the webs, it's only because, we turned the coach light on that's outside the house for the first time, it's like a spiders playground out there.

There's been nothing here, so loads of shit still. I nearly ran over four rabbits on the way to Coles.

Every itch and I was convinced they were in the car with me.

My wife is from South Africa and she says they had spiders over there that CHASED YOU as big as the huntsman, they would flatten themselves out to get under doors and actually chase you.

How many redbacks !!??!!

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Just the two from what I can make out, don't want to spend too much time searching thanks :eek:

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Don't blame you !

Two too many :eek:

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

OMG..... i am sooooo nervous of spiders and those red backs make my skin crawl.

Do they only go to bite if they are touched, would they leave you alone otherwise?

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

No they stalk you :p

They're quite placid thank f**k and easy to kill :eek:

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

thats a really good picture, I'd definately be able to spot one now! All my boys love creepy crawlies! My 9 yr old came into the kitchen one day with my mobile phone, when I asked what he was doing with it, he told me he'd taken a picture of his 'first aussie snake'. I asked to have a look and was gob smacked! It was a baby brown snake, very venomous, in fact we were told they are the second most deadliest snake in aus! I grabbed the complex manager and Cameron took us to where it was. Sure enough it was there on the hot tarmac with mum close by in the bushes! :eek:

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Is there anything in Oz that isn't poisonous that duck-billed platypus thing thats dodgy I know kangas are not poisonous but if you get to close they'll give you a fat lip

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Not a lot :D

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I bet theres hardly a person in Aus who hasn't been out walking, minding there own business then suddenly feel a web across your face.

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

:eek:

What an awful thought to end the night on !!!

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Maybe its one of the joys of nightshift, wandering about on these balmy nights.
Have a look outside tonight, there are moths the size of bats going around. :scared:

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Not seen any around here...but did when up the GOR - massive brown things, couldn't believe them !

Re: Red Backs Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Cant you just squash it with a big shoe?
