Cute baby jumping spider. He doesn't jump in the video but I saw him jump earlier.

Cool, I thought I was almost the only person who had a friendly relationships with spiders.
-I had a rule in my house that no one got to smash spiders. It was their house also.
This is going to sound odd, but.....
In my last house, when I first bought it, I was getting bitten by spiders at night, usually every night.
Then I had a conversation with one of the spiders. I said to it, "Spider-bud, (side note: all spiders are named Spider-bud) if you and your relatives stop biting me at night I'll start rescuing you out of the bathtub, I won't squish any of you on purpose, and I'll try to keep other people from doing it also."
I never got another spider bite in that house for over a decade, even though I would sometimes see them taking a shortcut over top of me in bed at night.

Ok, that's cool and just a little bit creepy, lol...the walking over you at night. :) I don't doubt a few cross over me but I don't want to know about it. :)

I've changed since becoming veggie...I don't kill spiders/bugs if I can help it. It feels good. And I used to totally freak out over spiders and crawly things. It's amazing how you can desensitize yourself (from the fear) after some effort. :)

I've never been scared of insects or bugs. I used to catch black widows when I was 6 or 7 years old, and put them in a baby food jar in order to take the spiders to school. Then I would show other kids the hourglass so they'd know it was real and dump it out into my hand. Usually I'd end up chasing someone with it. -When I think back to grade school (and earlier) chasing other kids with some form of creepy crawly must have been a big thrill to me as I remember doing it quite often. I got bitten a few times by black widows but never had a bad reaction.

When I was a kid we had a frog live in our garden one summer. We never knew where it came from as we didn't live near any open water.
My friend had one show up in his flower garden also.

What a gorgeous mite. :smitten:

I used to have an entire family of lizards that lived in a gap on my window sill. I don't know what happened to them as they have disappeared.

They lived there for eight years and I really miss them.

This guy was hanging around in the yard, enjoying the cooler evening. He wasn't willing to budge from his spot in the shade even when I came over and took a picture. It was taken with my phone so it's not very clear. The person living in the other guest house warned me about a large king snake that also hangs around here. She said he's really slow to move and she's almost stepped on him before so to watch where I step.

As I'm of Scottish decent I have to tell you that Kelpie is a water horse (malevolent spirit, kind of like your Bunyip) .
You Ozzys are getting names screwed up.
-I believe the fault could lie with the water swirling the wrong direction in your toilets causing a cascading effect in your neurons as they try to deal with it, which makes your brain dizzy and words get mixed up -- either that or it has something to do with the metric system.

Nice looking pup, around here we'd probably think it was a Doberman mix.
