Wildcat!!!!!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

F/A 18 Super Hornet!!!! The stings can be just as lethal.

Modelling under his bed with a torch light....just kidding H!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Nearly got nabbed by one of these some years back, was chipping cement of old bricks for recycling, went to pick up another brick and this little bugger was reared up ready to nab me. I gave it the hammer.

I love this thread some real cool beasties i take it that is the famous redback spider .just how bad is a bite from 1 of those things

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I take it she's a little worse than a black widow.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Is it just me, or is every critter in Australia deadly???

Yep it's a Red Back and the bite is nasty but not as bad as the Black Widow (hence the name)

Nope, the people are great and we do have butterflies, blowflies and koalas.

Just a few....stay away from the sharks, crocodiles, snakes and spiders and you will be ok.

 

[parsifal]

and the wild dogs, the scorpions the tasmanian Tigers, oh and the Yowies.....

 

[mudpuppy]

Okay, I'll bite...I thought the Tasmanian Tiger was extinct (?) so that may be a hint...but what is a "Yowie"?

[ontos]

I think a "Yowie" is when you get a cut on your finger and Mom puts a band-aid on it.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Ok, that was funny as hell.

 

[parsifal]

Just messing with your heads fellas. A yowie is like your sasquatch or bigfoot.

We have all sorts of critters, but they generally dont come near the populated parts. The exception to that are probably the spiders, but even these, bites are very rare
