laughs in Australian tropics

Huntsman spiders are one of the fastest spiders on Earth, grow to the size of a human hand and are as common where I live as a house spider.

Our roaches are the size of mice too

They're quite cute though and keep the cockroaches out.

Whom amongst us has not heard the distinct sound of a spider large enough to make a noise as it scurries along a hardwood floor?

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Yeah but at least you don't have bears

If you're rural enough and have a pet door that can change pretty quick.

Is Grafton a joke to you? bear-despair

It's not just about how likely I am to encounter an animal, it's also about how fucked I would be

I'd rather deal with a brown bear than most of what Australia has to offer and a grizzly more than some of what Australia has to offer. Polar bears are S tier nope but they're far. Bears aren't even the scariest animals in North America, fucking moose are.

I'd rather a moose than a griz

House centipedes are little assholes though, they'll crawl up to you while you're sleeping and bite you a bunch to see if anything happens, then wander off, leaving a string of painful itchy welts.

That's obviously not as dangerous as the average Australian spider, but I have to assume none of those spiders are quite so eager, because otherwise the island would be uninhabitable.

Oh that sounds awful actually. No wonder people hate house centipedes
