Thats the same here in America, the smaller the scorpion the more dangerous it is. Same with Brown Recluses and Black widows, but black widows aren't REALLY deadly, I mean, if your system is weak enough then it willshannon.archer said:pfft... we see those things all the time. If your careful enough you can pet themJWAN said:Either way the rule in Australia is the bigger the better. Smaller they are the more deadly they are.
If you get a brown recluse bite on a finger or a toe or on a part of your ear prepare for it to literally turn to puss and melt.
there are spiders in Australia whose poison only works on primates (includes humans) so they are quite clearly designed to kill us and take over the planet.
also there are very poisonous spiders which like the cool dry places so all you need to do is keep your house hot and humid... that is if you are not alarmed by the very poisonous spiders who like hot and humid environments. suffice to say, I am never EVER going to Australia... EVER.
fun fact: daddy longlegs is the most poisonous spider in the world but its pincers are to small to penetrate human skin.

The spider is the least of their problems. Who heard about the large great white caught, then during it's reel in, a shark twice it's size came up and nearly bit it in half! Beaches have been closed!

I fucking hate spiders.AS FUCKING BIG AS YOUR HAND?*faints*
I've seen and attempted to catch one (in some suburbs of brisbane I've actually seen 2 meters (~6'5") or so worth of web spanning between tree's and powerlines). If you do come to Australia your fairly safe as long as you stay close to the coastal cities, the further you go in to the country the more dangerous it gets (especially if your a backpacker). As an example: In the coastal areas we have Funnel Webs, Bushlands we have Red Backs and White Tails, Mountain areas are usually safeish and in the desserts we have Inland Taipans (One drop of venom is purported to be enough to kill 10 men). Even with all that I still love this country for what it is.
There are other types of spider (tarantulas) that eat birds, and they're not just in Australia. I just don't see why that would make Australia the scariest place on earth, but I guess that could be because I'm used to seeing tarantulas (I'm from Arizona).
Can they be any worse than the Bull Dog Ants of Australia?

These little rat bastards can kill a person by one sting. Sure there is an antidote now, but that is if you get to it in time.
And then there are the Iracongi Jellyfish which can also kill with one sting.
Wee, I do want to visit Australia, but I guess yah just have to be careful while there right?

Hehe - I never saw ticks until I was posted to Holsworthy - Paralysis ticks make me nervous. Don't forget about the Funnel Webs, they're pretty much all over there.UnoticedShadow said:
Yeah we have funnel webs which are freaky but they're not giant or eat birds
Wow its a spider that I've seen in books many times that are 1900s and now they realise this?
OT: I would go to Austrailia to play Halo 3 (age rating) but then again the insects and arachnids are stopping me.
"Die grunt!"
"Die.... . GIANT SPIDER! GIANT ANT HOLY!"
Funeral for me please. Google: austrailian ant. It actually kills people a lot. More than sharks.

To be honest, in my month in Western Austraillia, I saw maybe one dangerous spider, I did see a few Huntsmans, they're big ugly bastards and they will bite, but they're not venomous. You get more spiders in your house in England than Austraillia because in Austraillia it's so hot the spiders just wanna chill outside. That said, my sister found a big arse redback in her garage in her new house.
The real problem with Austraillia is that they lean further right than Hitler when a large percentage of their population is being shat on.
But yea, if you wanna worry about creatures in Austraillia, it's the sharks you gotta be scared of.
