Arizona has critters. Desert critters as well as those familiar with folks in more "moist" environs. Like this little gal below. Common worldwide, they're pretty toxic, but not all that aggressive. I almost sat on top of this one whilst fiddling with my '78 this morning.
To be honest, Bark Scorpions are much more common than spiders - and I've chased a couple of rattlesnakes out of my garage. Well, actually, one of them didn't make it out... :mischief:
Some years ago when I had a house in Cave Creek (north of Phoenix in the hills) I had a couple of javelina wander into the shop while I was in the back. Believe it or not, I actually SMELLED them before I SAW them!
I'm guessing our friends in Australia have a few critter encounters from time to time, as well...
