Spider probably wants to return to Sydney but can't because lockdown.
not to be confused with the other variety of long slithery creatures that are common in the Adelaide hills.Actually not fussed. She's grew up in the Adelaide Hills with them. Haven't seen one for ages tho
We also have a couple of scorpions. Surprised the shit out of me, the first time I found one of the big ones. The little ones are much cuter. No photos, they are lost forever on my bricked phone.not to be confused with the other variety of long slithery creatures that are common in the Adelaide hills.
its same colour, but 3 foot longer and has no legs!
Yep, likely a relative. They're certainly out in those hills and up in the high country.Under a house in Belgrave (mt Dandenong area for those not local)
Probably not a Sydney funnel web this far south, but almost definitely from that family. It's a hard pass whatever it is, plenty of nope

I'm quite partial to spiders and will normally catch ones inside the house and put them somewhere safe outside (or if it's a Huntsman, leave it where it is so it can continue its unpaid internship of irritating insect remover).That is so fucking cool!
I found this bad boy while under a house, I may have weed a little

I have no fear or phobia of spiders, snakes or any of the creatures that give people the heebie-jeebies.Being from Tas I am not used to spiders with personalities, aside from ye ole huntsman.
This absolute bastard is where I started yo sit up and take notes.
found cruising ailse 18 of bunnings at 5 am.
Came home on two seperate nights to find the cat sitting there looking very happy with himself for dispatching these intruders. Still can’t work out how they got into the locked and pretty well sealed house in Cambodia.Here you go, 2014 was the year, big pincers and those f#%king legs all working at once, way too many legs... Brrrrrrrrrrr

What a nutter. I think I owe my cat a debt of gratitude!
Thanks for letting me cut into the ouchy bits. People do stupid stuff just to get on YouTube. He could have levelled up and tossed it down his jocks.Go to 13m50s in...
Saw a Doco about those giant ‘murder wasps’ that go in and decapitate entire hives of bees. The bees on the other hand when finding a scout wasp in their midst start vibrating to bring the temperature up and literally broil the wasp alive. Amazing stuff.Reminds me of another guy who does it for wasps and other Hymenoptera to make a pain scale rating:
Ouch! King of Sting Dr Justin Schmidt rates the world's most painful insect stings

He has a book I've been meaning to read (https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/sting-wild) as I'm a big fan of all types of wasps (my undergrad honours thesis was on wasps, and I have a wasp tattoo )
Camera doesn’t catch, but was as heavy and fluffy as I’ve seen.Some chunky flakes in that!
