I thought we could use a thread to bring us back to earth during the silly season.

There are more examples for sure...
 
Daddy long legs when the lights are turned off and they just divebomb you repeatedly

My Aunties farmhouse seemed to be infested by then. Staying there was an absolute nightmare.
 
Australian spiders and Red belly Black snakes.

Not any more as I don't live there now.

Worked on a farm in Aussie. Had lots of huntsman, scary but not aggressive in the slightest. Guy I was working with accidentally picked up a brown snake during hibernation, snake was too out of it to bite him. Loved the Wallabies, one for the most amazing little animals on earth.

The first house we moved into in the Western suburbs of Brisbane was a high set. One night the Wife was putting the kids to bed and I heard multiple screams from upstairs. I rushed up to find a big Huntsman on the landing. I got a broom to shoo him out and, as Huntsmen do, it reared up its front legs when threatened. I swear to God that when it did that, I heard it hiss.

I feckin soiled myself!

Then I handed the broom to my Wife and told her to get rid of the Spider!

We had Redback spiders in our garden too. One day we had friends around for a Barby and game of poker around the pool. My Son was about 7 at the time and was over at the screen to the back door when he said "oh cool!" When I asked him what it was, he showed me an egg sack that had just opened with thousands of baby Redbacks coming out of it!

We then went on a killing frenzy! Not one of those little bastards survived.

When we moved to Jimboomba, we were right on the edge of the bush, so we had Kangaroo pods in the area, Koalas and Kookaburras everywhere. We also had a nest of Red belly Black snakes. One of them chased my Wife from the bottom of the garden into the house when she got too close without knowing it! Those snakes are nutters! When every other snake will keep out of your way, Red bellies go full Wealdstone Raider! I once saw one attacking a 30 Tonne excavator!
