Am I a deranged sicko that I find deadly spiders like the Funnel Web to be fascinating and kind of beautiful?

psst. Elon was always a crazy nazi racist asshole. You just didn't notice it until it became so obvious that my giddy aunt could see it.

My eagle eyed wife saw this guy wandering in the grass outside the house. Hope he finds a mate and doesn’t try to accidentally wander into the house overnight.
Sydney Funnel Web spiders are not really what I want to encounter in the house…they’re just a little deadly.

Ziggy and I were out earlier for the hot day today — going to be 35°C in Sydney today and not great for dogs outside! He loves his ice cubes in his water bowl for extra cool water on these days.

Poor Ziggy is confined and unhappy about it, but it’s for his own good…he started the day with testicles and came home without them. 😢🥺😳😱

Oh no big deal, just the world’s most venomous spider (though a juvenile) unearthed by our landscaper today in our extended backyard. Dealing with Sydney Funnelwebs is par for the course here, but it’s the first one back there we’ve actually seen.

I don’t want to propagate the stereotype of Australia having kangaroos hopping down the city streets, but we’ve had a little visitor at our house in the city the last couple of days.
