In mother rus... Australia - spider eat snake

vangoz

"An office receptionist got the shock of her life earlier this week when she found a 70cm long snake entangled in the web of a deadly spider. Tania Robertson, a receptionist at an electrical firm in Perth, came in to work on Tuesday and spotted the sight next to a desk in her office. The snake, which had obviously died from the spider's poisonous bite, was off the ground and caught up in the web.

Leon Lotz of the Arachnology Department at the National Museum said it was only the second time that he had heard of a snake getting caught in a spider's web. It is believed the snake got caught in the web on Monday night. But it did not take the spider long to bite it. A red mark on the snake's stomach was evidence of where the spider had started eating it.

Throughout Tuesday, the spider checked on her prey, but on Wednesday she rolled it up and started spinning a web around it. She also kept lifting it higher off the ground, while continually snacking on it."

The article doesn't say it's a redback.

Well there isnt any other red marked species in Australia like that.

I'm like that too, I wouldn't even pick up a grape down there in fear it would sprout legs, burrow under my skin and lay eggs behind my eye where it's venom would make my skin peel off.

Oz is just like one big horror show.

Is there anywhere in the place you can go, without facing the possibility of a bug/snake/spider/crocodile/shark related death?
