Perhaps she'll die.

It's a good thing they don't spin webs you'd have to clean out of the gear. This lil' feller was hanging around VK6BE Bob's shack last November, then I suppose it went looking for some tasty morsel to pounce on never to be seen again. Albany WA is loaded with critters, including some 16" frogs fired from the USS New Jersey BB62 from time to time. (;->)

Read about those, and other venomous critters here.

I think they are pretty interesting critters, all of them.

Thank you Bob. This just illustrates it takes a special kind of person to live down under. I am not sure I could put up with the wild there. I am lucky to live here in Ohio when it comes to venomous insects. There are not really any that are deadly.
