Things That Can Kill You #6

This little bleeder was bigger than anything with eight legs and fangs has any right being and was on the ceiling in a rest stop toilet on the Great Northern Highway. As if drop toilets aren't scary enough as it is.

Scary Bitch

There hasn't been a Death By Redback in Australia since about 1956 when the anti-venom was developed and even then there was only about 13 recorded deaths before that. Also, its only the females that are poisonous, they're part of the Widow family. Psychotic bitch. My kinda girl.

None the less, I decided to give the loo a miss and risked spiking my arse on the spinifex behind a rock instead.
