  9. It's only recently that I have learnt that the male platypus has venomous spurs on its hind legs. Apparently the pain that these spurs can inflict on a human is excruciating, long lasting, and resistant to common analgesics .

    I feel disillusioned, as I had never thought of the platypus as a dangerous animal.

    This article informed me of more characteristics that make the platypus such an extraordinary creature.

  15. Well well! I haven't seen one of these in about forty years! A Mottled Cup Moth caterpillar. They most definitely stay in memory and it's not because they're so brightly adorned (back when the painful memory was made, it was described to me erroneously as a spitfire).

  25. #KnowledgeByte: What's the Difference Between #Venomous and #Poisonous?

    It's easy to get confused by how snakes, spiders, and other toxic creatures deliver their chemical weaponry. When it comes down to poisonous vs venomous, it's all down to the method of delivery.

  26. "For some, the larvae called to mind asps #caterpillars, another fluffy yet highly #toxic variety often found in the Lone Star State. Asps, which resemble a toupee, are one of the most #venomous caterpillars in the country...

    TPWD recommends that if you are not sure whether a species might be poisonous, you should avoid touching it, writing: "All this to say—when in doubt, DON'T TOUCH THE FUZZY CATERPILLARS.""

  27. Aaiiee aaiiee!! Sitting in my basement man cave, when the wheelbarrow made a noise? Huh? Looked up to see a 1.2m eastern brown snake* between me & the exit.

    *Probably. Possibly a deadlier tiger snake, easily confused by non experts (me). Both have stripes.

    I just sat still. It moved enough for me to escape, & I called the Reptile Bloke. No answer! Now I dare not enter!

    I just was out in the bush earlier, collecting dead branches. No gloves, no shoes...eek!
