Time to take some more of your nerve medications because there is another surprise coming.
This spider lives on the island off of South Australia, it was thought that the raging Bush-fires a few years ago MAY have wiped them out BUT NO, an Adult and a Juvenile were recently discovered sheltering in leaf litter a few hundreds in from where fires rage through destroy almost everything in their path.
It is as as ugly as ugly can ever get BUT it is harmless to EVERYTHING else but other spiders, it hunts them and eats.
Its kind has been around since the dinosaurs and probably before them as well and as far the Experts know, Kangaroo Island IS the only place in the world where they still live and exist.

Going by the picture, they’re attentive mamas too.

Kinda resembles my last boyfriend. I am attracted to anachronids. My house is full of them, but few mosquitos or flies.
