Hi All,

I'm with you Adrian. The environmentally friendly bug exterminators.

It is good to know that it is rare that a tree or bushweb spinning spider is venomous. The Black House and Redback Spiders stay around fences, windows or buildings. Other venomous spiders burrow or hide under leaf litter.

So if you run into a web in the garden its not as bad as you may at first believe.

Hi Tom,

Your spider would eat a Cat Face in one bite!!

In North Queensland I have been out on exercise (in the Army) and seen some huge spiders that live in the trees. Bird Spiders, They capture and consume small birds.
