And on the beach, there's the infamous bluebottles and box jellyfish - one tendril brushes your skin and you are (most likely) history. [img]smile.gif[/img]
The redback's one of the varieties of the widow family I was mentioning. Potent toxin, but a small dose. The funnel web is weaker, but they inject copious amounts of it! I swear I've never seen spiders with such large fangs or venom glands!
