Sorry to those who I sent an email to re a new spider similar to a Huntsman.

Just incase others are getting the same Red Rross email.... http://www.redcross.org.au/hoaxes_scams.aspx

For facts try this http://www.hoax-slayer.com/brown-recluse.html

Another example of heeding the message....if you get an email forwarded from someone and it states to "send to everyone in your address book" you can almost guarentee that it is a hoax.

If you must forward this stuff just do a quick check for yourself the facts of the story.  www.snopes.com & hoaxslayer are good places to start.

Cheers Neil

This was sent to me by an AU friend so I did not suspect a hoax, and as I am staying on a bush block with bugs very close.......

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with the old huntsman.
