THE MOST DANGEROUS SPIDERS IN AUSTRALIA (TOP 10)

By Thomas A. Smith

The previous video on the cute Koala bear reminded me of Australian spiders, who are not so cute. I prefer Arizona, which does have dangerous scorpions, I admit. Generally, I like spiders, but I have never lived in a place that had a lot of dangerous spiders. Though reportedly, expansion into the desert around Boise, Idaho, my home town, has resulted in a veritable plague of spiders in the new houses, which is weird. In some cases, it has been so bad that people were driven out of their houses, in one case the inhabitants electing to move back where they came from, raising the possibility that the spiders don’t like people from California.
