Wait, Let’s Take a Picture First
Luckily, for our entertainment, these parents decided to take a picture before saving their child. The insect in the image above belongs in the Stick Insect family, and as you can see, it can reach over a foot in length. This scary bug is only one of the estimated 250,000 insect species in Australia. The land down under has so many insects that half of them are yet to be named! Although the vast majority can’t harm you, it’s probably best to stay away from them altogether.

Spider Frost
By now, we are sure the Arachnaphobes reading have canceled their trips to Australia. This eerie “frost” is actually the intertwining webs of thousands of spiders. This phenomenon generally occurs after periods of high rain or flood when spiders need to flee for higher ground. This devilish form of “frost” can cover vast areas, making fields, homes, and parks look like a fresh blanket of snow had just fallen. The sight makes real snow seem not as bad after all.
