Tonight I found an unwelcome little guest running across the floor--an Australian Whitetip Spider. These creepy crawlies are much-maligned as the apparently can give a nasty bite, and there are urban legends that their venom is necrotic and can cause severe skin ulcerations. Apparently this is not accurate. Still, I don't like the idea of them hiding out in my shoes. As most of you know, I am the type of person who carefully escorts most critters out of the house without harm, but in this case I made an exception.
