But the tarantulas aren't deadly anyway.

All sorts of spiders are everywhere but I've never seen anybody that has been bitten get really sick Plenty of people have an irrational fear of them though, even folks that have been here all their lives.

Spiders and snakes don't bother me. It's stuff in the sea that kinda freaks me out...jellyfish, sharks and other crazy things that can creep up on you.
Yeah man it's the same over here and we don't even really have venomous ones. The most vicious stuff we have is now is the assassin (small, red with a pink abdomen) , a version of the funnel web (DEEP burgundy colour and looks like a small tank XD) and finally the mock widow (looks like a black widow only different colours). They may make you a little ill but thats about it however media love to scare monger XD "England infested with mock widows and they are killing people!!" Translation: 2 people were bitten, who had cancer anyways with no immune system due to all the keamo and one lost their hand, the other their foot. Sucks but was blown completely out of proportion and because of it "NO YOU HAVE TO KILL THEM NOW!" People really are that insecure XD. Jokes on them nature already formed a balance, all the funnel webs we have are eating em and have already leveled it all out :/ I love research ^^
