WHAT!! You think I took those pictures!?! I would run out the house and call someone from a neighbors house to catch it. I wouldn't go near it if I found that on my wall.

This, thing, was found in Australia.

Hey! That is a brown recluse spider, and it will lay a bigtime hurting on you if it bites you. Do a web search, major tissue damage.....

Check out http://www.brownreclusespider.net/ for info, and for really disturbing photos of bite sites, see http://www.brownreclusespider.net/BitePhotos.htm

I would love to visit Australia, but they have some scary-ass spiders. I think 4 out of the 5 most venomous spiders are found in the land down under, including the Sydney Funnelweb, which will actually attack a person, not just bite if they are touched. Oh, and they are also the most deadly spider on the planet.

Australia is also home to the blue-ringed octopus, whose bite will kill a human in less than 3 minutes. Scary $hit.

Okay, I sprayed one with chemical yesterday and it fell to death from the stairs and I trapped another one that appeared somewhere else in the house at the same time. Just now I spotted one and another one behind my couch in the living room and what do I find, a nest!
