Dangerous Creatures

[Little Miss Risk]

So there I yesterday, in the kitchen, and one of Australia's most deadly critters came marching along the counter. This was my first encounter with aredback spider. I managed to trap it under some glass to take a photo of it, but as you can see, it was a harrowing experience...

Then, all of his buddies showed up. I think I must have disturbed a nest in the kitchen some where.

I was able to shoo them off of the counter and into my dad's lunch case. I'm sure that seeing ten redbacks looking up at him instead of the chicken curry he *thought* that he had packed will shock him, just a little.

Points to anyone that notes the David Bowie spider. He's my favorite. I hope he gets eaten last. Where when most people say that they are doing baking before Christmas, it usually means gingerbread, fruitcake or cookies. Not in my family. My mom and I go and make spider cupcakes... this is why my family is cooler than yours.
