Net Casting Spider
This spider hangs upside-down in trees at night with a net held in its four front legs and waits for something to walk below it. When unsuspecting prey wanders beneath this spider, the spider launches forward and entraps the prey in its net. Once trapped, the spider paralyzes the animal by biting it and then consumes it. What happens if the spider goes all night without catching anything? No worries. It just eat its net and wait for the next night to come.

Shoo-Fly
There are an estimated 30,000 different types of flies and mosquitoes in Australia. Forget spiders, crocodiles, and snakes; that statistic alone is enough to make a person stay at home. These annoying creatures are everywhere in Australia and are nearly impossible to get rid of. Interestingly enough, it is generally only the females that bother humans. Males live long enough to mate while the females need to live long enough to produce their eggs. They need protein, and our nutritious blood is a siren call for these pests.
Flies!
