But but...why does that thing exist? Damn you evolution!

But, seriously, even though I wanted to go to Australia, all these deadly insects are one of the things holding me back.
Really? the only thing holding me back is Michael Atkinson.

I like Entomology, okay! Insects and spiders don't bother me, especially with the boots I wear.

i seen the same kind of spider in china only WAY smaller. they have the strongest web in the known world so they can get pretty anoying if you get stuck in a web. or atleast more annoying compared to other spiders webs.

Australia is a triumph of humanity. All of that deadly stuff and humans are the dominant species! Booyah!

Or at least until those spiders evolve again, develope armor plates that can withstand anti-tank rockets, leap 50 meters, and the idea to spray caustic venom 200 meters. Still we have at least a couple weeks of dominance before that mutation appears somewhere down there and starts to breed into a species of tool users. :p

That thing could literally hold you back.

Why do things like that exist?

After reading the original article and the other pages of this thread, I decided to scour the internet and make something special just to post here. I find it more than appropriate. :p



NOTE: I am not responsible for the original artwork in the picture, and I take ZERO credit for the excellent CG work. I just put it in the motivational poster.

How do you live in Australia anyway? Your bug zappers are probably 16 ft tall Tesla coils with 60,000 volts running through them.
When I go to Australia will they let me bring a handgun and a thermite grenade?
we are just bad ass
I actually want to visit Australia but I'm bringing a blow torch and a .38 for spiders. Poisonous snakes I can handle and I am around them alot like the diamond back, cotton mouths. I hate brown recluses and black widows though. (That's what the blowtorch is for)and the .38 is for that massive spider that probably carries babys away at night.

I think Bear Grills (don't know how to spell his last name) should try and eat one of those buggers on his show.

Australia also has spiders that bark.

No joke, they bark like a dog.

And they eat birds.
In Wisconsin we have spiders that bark, I have literally used fireworks to kill them off. Im talking just a pinch under military grade. Why? Why so over kill? You may ask. Because they can also JUMP over 8 FEET (thats around 2.5 meters)It can be hiding one moment, on your neck the next second, and skull f*&#^%@ the wound it gave you all in under .25 seconds (1/4th a second)

It was in my canoe OK, Im not going in after it with my hands, you must be outa your f-in mind if you think I would kill it with my bare hands. (not you personally that's for anyone else who would be like "STOP BEING A WUSS")

my buddy has a few of these photos (this one isn't his) but he had 3 camel spiders in his "ranger grave" when he went to sleep one night, now at night he sleeps with his Ka-Bar jabbed in the dirt next to his hand.

Fuck man, you tourists should see our drop-bears. They just fall from the trees and rip out your throats.

Goldern Orbs are great to have round the house, as are most Australian spiders, as they avoid humans generally and reduce the insect population (like flies and roaches). What you gotta watch out for are funnel-webs. Horrible things that kill alarmingly quickly.

But we survive and thrive down here. You guys saying how scared you are to visit simply need to harden the fuck up.

Anyway, Africa (the whole continent) is a trillion times more dangerous than Australia.
Yeah Right. we have the most venomous animals in this nation.
...What?

...W...Wha...

What?

OK. Define "nation".
The Great nation Of Australia.
So... we have the most dangerous animals in our own country.

Wait... did I miss some obvious sarcasm here?
Africa is only dangerous because of the militia other than that it's less dangerous than Oz
You have clearly never been charged by an elephant, sir.

Ha, I live in Australia, trust me, you very very rarely see spiders. Truth is we make too much noise and scare them. Last 2 spiders I saw were huntsmen, non-venemous spiders (Though intimidating because their legspan is bigger than your hand), but when I was reading in bed and I saw one 30cm from my face, I did do the whole "OSHIT GET OUT OF BED WTF WTF" thing. But yeah, that was like 3 years ago.
Huntsman Spiders have haunted my very being from the age of 11 when the first one was sitting on my shoulder while in school. I didn't believe the kids who were telling me, until I looked over my shoulder and was like WTF and you do that spazzy little dance to get it off you.

The next one was in my shoe, I didn't realise until I put it on and went WTF, something feels weird at my toes. Took it off, it went PEEK A BOO! and ran off. Meanwhile I've jumped on the couch and stayed there for a good 5 mins.

I've had one stalk me once...yes that's right, stalk me. I was sitting on the computer minding my own business when I caught movement in the corner of my eye. I found a huge Huntsman sitting in the middle of the floor. I looked at it and I'm sure it was looking at me, I turned back to the computer and thought that it would just sit there happily. Looked again 5 mins later it was gone and by this time I am in seriously WTF mode wondering where it's gone. Another 5 mins later I find it on the couch behind me, that's when I left the room and decided to come back when I thought it was gone. Came back downstairs, IT'S ON THE DAMN COMPUTER CHAIR!!!! I just thought 'fuck this shit' and walked back upstairs.

The next one was on the outside of my drivers side window...I was driving while suffer heart palpatations (sarcasm)

The next one I didn't even realise was on the toilet (near the flush buttons) until I had finished using it. It stayed there the remainder of the that evening, not even moving when we kept using it...that was freaky.

THEEEN! And this one is much more recent, my fiance comes downstairs and goes, 'what was that that just crawled behind you?", I'm like, "WHERE?!?!" I turned and in the dim of the light that's when I saw it..."I'm not fucking moving until you get rid of it!" So my fiance scared it away and then we realised it was actually chasing a massive cockroach.

The next one was just a little insignificant, but it was still in the same room as me.

I live my life waiting for the next one to rear it's ugly head.
