You left out irakunji jellyfish, allegedly now down as far as Fraser Island [near Brisbane].
We had some Canadian relatives staying last week. Had to warn them about the little tiny blue-ringed octopus which lives in the rock pools where they wanted to swim. They are flying back to Wainwright now - 60 degC difference in temperatures. Guess we scared them away!
BTW, there was a picture in the local paper of a local girl who found a blue-ringed crawling up her leg yesterday ... [mercifully unbitten].

I wonder how he took cover behind a low wall during battle. Now that he's left the army, the brass regularly emails his picture to the Taliban. Nowdays, he is general manager of a local television station. Probably walked in and said, "I need a job" and people scattered.
