Just recovering from last nights White Tail spider attack, when we say attack we actually mean running away with our arms in the air screaming.... It all started when Vicki saw something crawling on the ceiling light, we quickly grabbed to camera to get a close up shot to try to identify it. Vic suspected it to be something dangerous so we verified with my auntie who is an expert in the matter. She confirmed it was a White Tail and insisted we were to dispatch it.
We had to do this because the White Tail carries a bacteria on its fangs which causes the skin to ulcer.

You can see it is tiny by the size of the LED on the camera in the reflection.
On to lighter things, during the day we decided to go on a bike ride, we liberated two of the bikes in the garage and took a leisurely ride along the cycle paths of the local area.
That is tiny, hard to believe it is so dangerous
ReplyDeleteIt is quite amazing really especially for their size. Fortunately there is an anti venom for the bite but not a lot can be done for the ulcers
DeleteGreat
