Don't worry Lucy, they don't all kill instantly. Here is a handy spider identification chart that you can carry with you at all times. If you get bitten you can then decide whether to pray for forgiveness or dose liberally with vinegar.

and then theres the snakes, crocs, jellyfish, sharks etc

Huntsman spiders are your friends.

They kill and eat lots of other nasties.

All spiders will probably kill mossies and they are more dangerous than any spider:scared:

Not my friend when they are chasing me around some caravan park making me scream and look like a complete eeejit infront of a load of (very fit) Aussie builders who are rolling on the floor laughing at some stupid pom.

Also not my friend when there is one in my bedroom wall eyeing me up and the hubby refuses to move it so I lay awake all night waiting for it to jump on me and when I finally get off I dream of thousands of them making home in my mouth and ears laying baby spider eggs.

I get your point but really not a great fan of our 8 legged fiends
