Just imagine one of these crawling across the top of your desk.

Been there, done that and more than just once.

It's bad form to shout "Holy ****!" at work with the office door open.

I just now found this out.

Sun spider, wind scorpion, camel spider... Solpugid.

Vicious miniature land sharks. Extremely aggressive. Fortunately, they're harmless to humans but they do look nasty.

Harmless?

With them big teeth, couldnt pay me to go near them.

Sandman · « **Reply #81 on:** March 02, 2006, 02:54:23 PM »

LOL... biggest I've seen had about a 3.5 inch leg span.

Like I said... harmless.

If that's true then that would fit why my case was so bad, I layed down on the thing and it bit me out of defense of being crushed, lol, then I layed on it a second time, so she really let me have it!

Interesting. Hadn't heard that of spiders. From what I've been taught, this is true of rattlesnakes though.

I would like to see some old ladies Budgie try and eat this monster:

Queensland Bird Eating Spider

Quote

Bird Eating Spiders kill their prey by pouncing on it and injecting venom. They eat insects, lizards, frogs occasionally, small birds and other spiders...The bite from one of these spiders is potentially dangerous for they have fangs that grow up to 10mm in length with a diameter of 2.5mm at the base. These are great weapons. When provoked, they rear up and strike downwards. The penetration of such large fangs without venom (which is known to be very toxic) is dangerous in itself. These are powerful spiders

Other than the color, it looks almost the same.

We have got Redbacks in NZ as well. They are not that numerous as yet, but it's not news any more when some one finds one, so it seems they are well on the way to establishing themselves here. They hitch a ride on imports from Aussie, machinery and vehicles mostly.

The Redback is just another of their nasty little creepy crawlies the Aussies like to share with us.. oh well, we did give them Russel Crowe I suppose.

But this one we definately don't want:

Sydney Funnel Web Spider

NZ hospitals stock Funnel Web antivenom just in case.

Just keep in mind, everyone of those spiders is an insigificant wimp compared to the mighty killing power of your average homo sapiens sapiens.

Yup, on a global scale your right of course Thrawn, but on a personal level if a Funnel Web crawled into bed with ya calling him a wimp won't help ya.
