My new pet

Found this outside my window today....only inches from my face - fortunately on the other side of the fly screen. It's a female Redback

Got some pics before giving it a good dose of "hav sum of that!!"...which it didn't particularly like.

Needless to say it scared the crap out of me - definately a real sense of feeling 'alive'!

Well finally got to see something that could kill me up close and personal! Previous to that I had a white-tip spider visit - apparently there bite only eats the skin away like an ulcer...phew!
