Do you have an aversion to small rodents and large arachnids? Look at what happens when they tangle. t(ツ)_/¯

It's not the large spiders in Australia that you should worry about, but the tiny Redbacks, They are the most prevalent spiders in Oz. They are so small and they crawl into shoes/ under the loo seats etc. |

Heard similar stories about spiders and scorpions where big ones are OK but small ones are poisonous. We have no poisonous snakes where we live and I am not afraid of them but they scare wife to death and she'll run screaming when she sees one. Creepy crawlers bother me, but I don't know why. |

Yeh, some people have a natural fear of spiders, which is understandable I suppose. They don't bother my wife or me though. We don't kill any unless they become bothersome. Mostly we just pick them up and put them outside. |
