The most common big one, Huntsman, is pretty harmless, not poisonous. Apparently if it bites it will hurt a fair bit but it's noit poisonous so it won't kill you. But yeah the red back one is very poisonous.

The worst would be seeing a brown snake :scared:

So, the giant one is okay while the small one with the red shit on his back is dangerous? :scared:
Pretty much. Red backs are one of the most poisonous spiders there is.

But most of these little, highly venomous and dangerous critters aren't really found in the big cities, more in the outback.

"Intrigued, I decided I would ask Google Australia what had bitten me, so I searched for “identify bite sweat” because for me, the localised sweating was the identifying factor. And that’s when I discovered that most of my search results led to the Redback Spider bite."

You are probably dying, stupid motherfucker, it's not right time to use google :rofl:

Same with scorpions. The smaller ones need to have more lethal poison because of their size.

Exactly, that shit is more popular in Britain than here. I don't even think it's sold here in any of the big liquor stores anyway.
It tastes like piss. Fosters Gold is quite passable in the summer, though.

If you ever see one of those red back spiders though, run.
I was working in a call centre in Melbourne and went outside the front door to have a smoke one day. Had a look up towards the light fixture as there was quite a few webs surrounding it and there was a family of the buggers about two feet above my head. I ran inside like a little girl fairly promptly :D

Daddy long legs, seen hundreds of those motherfuckers inside before. They have the most poisonous venom of any spider I believe but their fangs are too small to puncture skin :D
