    Hadn't been stung by a wasp for years,but a few months ago got hit by what I think was a wasp...just saw him fly away.It felt like an electric shock as he hit me atleast 3 times,it HURT!,felt like my finger had been cut off by a samurai sword...I'm trying to act cool,like I get stung every day y'know,but I think the clenched teeth and veins popping on my neck gave me away.Some cider vinigar spilt on the bite and it was like it never happened in 5 mins.

    I think I was bitten by a spider in bed a few years ago - woke up feeling like I had been on the piss all night,a real sunday morning feel.Shrugged my shoulders and carried on with life,next day my shoulder started to hurt...oh,musta strained it doing the weedeating.A few days later I was scratching my shoulder and felt a scab,then I saw the bite marks.

    Jims being humped by an aggressive MALE Weta?

    Must be the new bike Jim.... The Weta got the wrong idea about you... Now if you had a LeMANS there would be no doubt about your sexuality.

    sanity maybe....

    BB, we do get them in the South Island. And the fuckers are bigger and meaner in the south than north. Anything that can be frozen solid and then thawed out and live to attack you again deserves respect in my book.

    Same as anything that can bleed for a week and still live
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I've really enjoyed this thread

    ..... for several reasons. The first is the level of wit displayed - absolutely excellent The second is at a more psychological level. There's a fairly high level of repulsion for something which is harmless but there appears to be a corresponding protectiveness towards them. Now let's talk about Avondale spiders or any other harmless large arachnid. How come we don't exhibit the same degree of protectiveness and instead, reach for the flyspray or a handy brick??? Is it the reptilian part of our brain at work or did we pick it up from our parents?

    All a bit deep for me - any psychologists on board???

    I used to work at a place where one of my main jobs was disappearing orb spiders to stop them eating the attractions (non-scary link)
    I found the water blaster did the job the best....

    btw.. the one in the photo could put its legs on your chin and hair and not touch the rest of your face

    I've always thought Avondale spiders are Ozy huntsman spiders.
    Imported here during WWII.
    Never actualy seen one here but I saw plenty in OZ.
    Bloody freaky great things that can get as big as your hand.
    Used to scare the crap out of me when I first got there but after a while I'd just ignore them.
    The worse incident I had with a spider was after I picked up a Valiant that had been parked up for a while.I was cruising down the Hume when this Wolf spider walked up the door pilar beside my head.I parked it in the ditch an jumped out the passenger side before the car even stopped rolling.after I got home I chucked a bug bomb in there an nuked her real good.
    My brother who was behind me thought it was a huge joke.
    NOT BLOODY FUNNY MATE!!!!

    lol... had the same thing happen in a tipper I used to drive.... came out from on top of the sun visor, dropped on to my arm, ran up it to the steering wheel and across the dash... missed 3 gears, bailed outta the truck (going uphill) and sat on the side of the road until I was sure the shithead was gone somewhere else (about 20 minutes)
    Apparently quite a few car accidents happen every year coz of huntsmans...

    I find wetas every day, my record was finding about 15 full size adults in one spot, man some of them were big! Always getting them climbing on me, biting me, hate it when they are inside my helmet-can feel them wandering around
