Naturally its down in OZ, don`t plan on making any visits when they have such
wild variety Spiders, Snakes and other other creepy insects. Thought about
going to Tasmania and visit my cousin though, not as many of those types.

Interesting. As an aside, man, I am really beginning
to hate these websites optimized for toy computers.
You can shrink the text to a sensible size using ctrl_-
but the image shrinks along with it to the size of a
postage stamp. Really irritating.

They're .1 to .3 inches in size? You'd probably mistake them for an ant.
