Hercules the Funnel Web Spider

Judging by the picture, Hercules is already collecting protection money.

Backs up my long-held belief that everything in Australia wants to kill you.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Yeah, he's a bit big to just swat with your thong.

 

[StillStunned]

That depends on your thong size, surely?



Some of us have big feet.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Yes, but that bastard would be able to jump a long way.

 

[TxRad]

Yeah, you might want to dig out an old combat boot before you assault that spider.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

Yeah, you keep him over there. I’ll stick with these. Nice and harmless actually make good pets

 

[EmilyMiller]

Yikes!!

You know that visit I was going to pay you? It’s off!

We have big enough bugs here, but that!

I’m a bit of an arachnophobe, but tarantulas are kinda cuddly. It’s the fast scuttling ones that I don’t like.

Thought just hit me. What if all these spiders and snakes and jellyfish and stuff are just myth and legend to keep people from wanting to move there???

Yeah, propaganda, illusion, smoke and mirrors, that’s what it is…

Only issue I have with them is when they migrate. They like the warmth of the asphalt on roads and en mass are as slippery as ice.

 

[EmilyMiller]

I guess you have bigger bugs down there.

Like drop bears, I guess. And killer 'roos.

 

[OverconfidentSarcasm]

Why the fuck did I click on this topic!?

Now I have to wander through my house with my vacuum in tow, while searching the sealing for cobwebs again...

Killer roo’s are real. I’ve seen ‘em packing rifles on the internet.

According to Scarlett Johansson in my fictional universe, a fear of spiders as a young woman can be eased through distraction via hot lesbian sex.

Well, at least you tried, and tried, and tried…

They don't need rifles. One kick from a back leg and a big red or a big grey will disembowel you.
