Fifteen10 - 'you big girl's blouse'. I hope that you are not Irish my family would be turning in their graves.

Snakes all over the place, a nibble from some of those and you are dead before you can drink a Guinness. Masses of spiders, scorpions and all sort of other arachnids. About the only thing I will kill on sight though is the big aggressive centipede with a very nasty bite (scolopendra?).

Leaving aside the big stuff you could meet in the bush the most dangerous things are the snakes. But, they will try to avoid you if you are out and about. If you sleep out they do like to cuddle up next to you though (see my comment below). The majority of snakes are not deadly and most deaths are with people handling them.

Yes, so also be careful of the nightfighters
