  Flying spiders?

  Nvr heard of it.

  Watched a documentary recently that said a certain species of spider is able to fly the farthest out of all the creatures that had no wings but could fly.  They make use of the wind, and just float around.  Apparently, scientists conducting experiments in a hot air balloon saw these spiders too!!  They can fly up to the height that planes fly in too!!! 

  Sorry, can't recall the name of the breed of spider...

  i always thought they were cool as heck

  AAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!    These aren't spiders!  It's a mutated crab!!! 

  How many eyes does this bugger have?!    All the better to attack humans with, right? 

   

  Last night, my eyes almost popped out when I realised how coordinated the spider was on all its eight legs... it was moving up and down my bed in such a precise manner, it was really scary!    The way it moves... it was very powerful with good coordination!  Freaked me out!!

  All manner of poisonous snakes, ants, insects, sea creatures, etc, are all found in Australia!  What in the world is wrong with this country?  It's like Toxic Paradise!    Even the most poisonous jellyfish in the world, the Irukandji, is located in Australia!!

  spiders usually have 8 eyes...

  and some spiders are very intelligent.. they will think of ways to trap their prey..

  saw a documentary.. very cute.. they almost kena attacked by their prey so they go another way after analysing the situation.. that's amazing isn't it

  A thought suddenly occured to me as I went around my apartment searching for spiders just now...

  The mere thought that the spider could have been walking up and down my covers as I lay asleep for goodness knows how many nights just petrifies me!!!

      EIGHT?!!!  "All the better to see you with!"

  I scrutinised my dead spider specimen... doesn't look like it has 8 eyes though. 

  I know it sounds kinda morbid, but I'm going to keep this spider specimen.

  some spiders have fewer eyes..

  don't keep the thing unless you keep it in formalin or methylated spirit..

  because.. once it's dead, it'll rot...

  you've been told..

  Hmm... Formalin or Methylated Spirit...

  Think it can preserve well if I keep it in absinthe?

  Australia is technically the most dangerous country to live in because there are more ways to die here because of these poisonous creatures!

  Good booze?!    People have died drinking absinthe!    If you ever drink it, make sure no one sitting around you tries to light up a cigarette!

  And then have to clean up the gooey gunk and pick up the carcass and watch the legs drop off and exoskeleton peel off?! 

   

  I think insecticide is still the cleanest method!  :P  These are not your tiny Singapore spiders, k?  These spiders move like they are autobots!
