You ever seen them sleeping?
They hang from the roof from one leg. Wierd shit.
Ps. I saw a proper Dragonfly the other day. Not seen one of them since the last time i was in Florida or France.

Yup. And there seems to be more and more every year.
I reckon they'll take over the world instead of monkeys.

the myth regarding most poisonous etc is bull shit
met many spider specialists in zoo's across Australia who told us that its bullshit, But they are very poisonous to other spiders such as black widow and the red back
