Shit scared of the buggers! Just thinking about it gives me the shivers. Anyone remember the thread a while back with a massive one that ate a bird?

Scorpions scare the shit out of me, i'd freak if one of them appeared from nowhere under the duvet or something like that.

This harmless stuff isn't entirely true, there are a few poisonous ones in the UK.

Their poisonous buds aren't even powerful enough to penetrate top layer of skin.

We had a huge one that liked living under the tumble dryer. He was called George.
He wouldn't fit under a glass, which is preferred method of disposal  My sister had him terminated her way.

What about them fake black widows? They've killed people from one bite.

right-o
Common Huntsman found just about everywhere including airvents in your car
Sydney Funnelweb, owner of Atraxa-Toxin, one of the nastiest venoms to man. Trust me its not much fun when your dog brings a female into the kitchen and drops it.
Redback, found in garages everywhere. Found a lovely example underneath my bike seat waiting for me to sit on it

one of the lasting memories of spiders from when i first moved here was a Huntsman dangling from the ceiling fan. They are not dangerous at all other than a bite but bugger me trying to move the thing with a broom and newspaper just made a thud noise everytime i tried. Tough bastards
