I know what you mean. Just moved house and there seem to be massive ones about.
Found 2 in the bath yesterday. Tried to get them to have a fight but no luck. Would have been a bit like cage fighting for spiders!!!

I went to sewage works the other week that has a massive population of small flies...and an even bigger population of spiders..every nook and cranny and passageway that didn't see regular foot traffic was just a mass of webs, looked like something off the old kong film

there is a spider that lives at the top of my cctv pole, and goes for regular walks across the cctv lens, which looks quite funny when customers are in the office and they glance at the screen.
had an old lady cry out "eeeeeeeeee" and then check out the window, she thought somebody outside was about to be eaten PMSL

ianch:
That 'evil' thing is less than an inch across and AFAIK won't kill you. It has a bite a bit like a bee sting apparently.
This one's a bit bigger but less dangerous (it's a baby
huntsman ):
However, red back's are also less than an inch across and can kill you. Who says size doesn't matter?

In WA redbacks and, occasionally, white tails are the only ones that can be a serious problem. If you're with 160 kms of Sydney then there's the Funnel Web. A grudge bearing nasty ****** to say the least.

I know the UK is seemingly on the slide ATM but don't think it's all a bed of roses out here. There's...
There's also 18 of the top 20 most dangerous snakes, spiders as previously mentioned, blue ringed octopus, box jellyfish and let's not forget stingrays (no, I'm not making light of Steve Irwin's demise, that was tragic). Aussie beer too (with the odd exception)
And don't forget John Howard.
More seriously, there's **** over here that'd drive you mad too!
- endless beaches
- top class wineries (if you're into that stuff)
- great weather
- wide open space, etc, etc
