Oh boy. Yes, I have come across those on some hikes. It’s unnerving how they look up at you as if they are sizing you up, and walk backwards while still looking at you. Didn’t know about the anaphylaxis, only know that the bites are very painful. Thank you!

I know. I also don’t like when my feet can’t touch the ground, so there’s that, too.

I’m also mad allergic to bug bites (mosquitoes and spiders are really bad), so I try to avoid anything that bites.

Still learning about Australia. I’ve survived for almost 6 years now, I think I’m doing okay.

As a Canadian living in Australia, I prefer the North American dangers. At least you can see most of them. I’ve nearly stepped too close to a tiger snake once and didn’t notice until I put my foot down. Luckily it preferred the warm spot over me.

I usually don’t go far in to the water out of fear of dark waters and rips. Seen the cute little blue dragons and jellyfish on beaches, but I leave those alone.

White tailed spiders under the covers, or in your closet or drawers are a joy, especially the baby ones.
