Yep... Lady Red...
Well, she is now out the way, I am lucky I noticed her presence during the day.
Because in the dark our encounter wouldn't be very nice (for me)
Ah, yes, I have so much venom from these little buggers in my blood stream that mozzies don't come near me. The bite hurts like hell and can kill some people. Makes me really sick but I tend top recover after a day or so.
Since moving to Canberra, I have been bitten by spiders more often than I have taken a nap in 45 years. In our bed, in the garage, in the yard, walking around the golf course, walking between pine trees (THAT one hurt badly for a week). Latest bite was a week ago - at the local shopping centre. I think I have become immune...
Perhaps ASIO or ASIS has programmed spiders as mini-assassins.
Spider webs find me like magnets in a jar of ball bearings.
