[mouseinamilkbottle]

Gorgeous bush.

Marron, yabbies, whatever. They're all crustacea that I don't eat!

[LittleFoot]

Cute skink....crazy scary spider.....definately would have been a girly scream and me running if I came across it.

[Omega]

i'm so jealous. That area looks beautiful. Crazy spider!

[AneesasMuse]

Awww.. I think the spidey kid is CUTE! He does have some pretty long pedipalps (?)... makes him look very deceiving ("10 legs"). Wow! his fangs look HUGE in comparison to his size, though. What was his leg span?

Your farm is beautiful, btw... and Hector has all of that all to himself? No friends? Does he get on well with the "roos" ?

Thanks again, for sharing pics of AU. I am fascinated!

[PICJESS]

Wow! Your farm looks awesome! I want to make to Aus one day, when I do, I wanna come see your place for myself! Beautiful Where is your farm located?

nice pics especially the shingleback

[DeadEye]

I got this from an entomoligist about that spider DRAGONTEARS , these are thick on the ground after rain ,the males move about looking for hairy legged females .

Hi Ian,

Thankyou for your email. This is a species of red-headed mouse spider from the genus Missulena, family Actinopodidae. There are 8 species recorded in this genus and are found throughout Australia. They are all medium to large measuring up to 35mm body length. The males tend to wander during the daylight in full view, particularly after rain when they are in search of females. There is more interesting information available in the sites below.

Although they are unlikely to cause serious harm they are quite toxic. Only one serious incident has been reported to date. Spiders are certainly fascinating to observe but as with many of our invertebrates it is important to remain cautious.

The farm is up chittering brook .
Regards,

Michelle Glover

[KyleWeiss]

Awww yeah, that's what I like to see. If it weren't for the noise I'd have ten cockatoos of all kinds. I sure love the Rosies. I think "cheeky" and "cockatoo" are about one in the same if you ask me. Those little bare-eyed cockatoos are fun little things, too.

It's a 'Petral?" Okay. I'll take your word for it. I don't think your car would run so good if you put some "petral" in the gas tank... heh. That was a terrible pun, someone shoot me.
