The Black Gheko!

[StevOz]

Not sure how it got in down the chimney somehow.

So a few snapshots, then I brushed and panned the beast to the yard outside.

Maybe it was there to give you a car insurance quote.?

 

[StevOz]

Don't do insurance or cars for that matter, I'm too manly for imaginary safety nets and I don't need a 2 ton toxic killing machine to get around. If I can't get there via my ebike, then I'm most likely not going there, maybe a bus if needs be that happens maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

Though I did have to roundup that gecko and send it to the wild, the beast would have starved to death indoors.

@StevOz,
Ooh wow, am I jealous.

Hey, question-- how many poisonous critters do folks in your town have to deal with on the regular?

I'm guessing it's nothing too crazy in the suburbs of a big city, but maybe I'm wrong?

 

[StevOz]

The two most common lethal species would be the dugite in summer and the red back spider.

Also my city is actually rather on the smaller side with a population of about 80 000.

Dang-- NICE ONE!

So, I actually remember playing with one of these suckers when I was 6yo, along with Raven, my best friend. We were kids... invincible! Not to mention, it was fun! And that's what always mattered, of course.

EDIT: No, the SPIDER, not the SNAKE. Sorry, I mixed them up just there. :/

Sometimes the spider wins!

Redback spider v snake ... WA style

Who’d have thought. It seems redback spiders taking down snakes is a thing.

Damn, I'm sorry I missed that now that it's down. Did you preserve any samples?

A good friend runs a world comics site, and might be interested in highlighting that one, depending.

On Reddit yesterday I witnessed a praying mantis chomping down on a wasp, whilst meanwhile a hornet was cutting it in half. Somehow the mantis didn't notice(!)

Unfortunately the 2nd linky-wink don't work here neither.

But based on the little bits I'm seeing, what a great strip!
Indeed, reminds me a good bit of the weirdo classic Tumbleweeds comic:

But I like how "Snake" gets to the point faster, more efficiently.

Thanks a bunch, Stev-arr, for sharing this gem! <3
