Not being picky but wouldn't it be an entomologist?

Thank you very much, Guys...the funnel web spider is certainly one to be cautious of...my brother used to be a feller in the gums in Victoria and speaks of them...scary!!!
The bastards can live upto 3 days on the bottom of a pool. They walk around hunting (like right into your house). Their venom is lethal to humans but does nothing to cats or dogs.
No 1 Rule for Australia - NEVER turn over a piece of corrugated iron unless you want to mess with whatever is under it (and there WILL be something)
That's a bit harsh, Neckshot!!!:D:D:D
I used to be cycle courier, one day I had a drop off at the docks in some quarantine office thingy, whilst waiting the guy showed me some of the things that had come in, damn scary stuff, he had a bunch of dead stuff and tanks of things yet to be killed, damn gotta say coconut spiders (hair,less) sure look creepy!
