Since I live in the "city", it's really not that bad. Sure, there are spiders around, especially in summer, but the scary ones that kill you are mostly in rural parts of the country, or maybe just further north cause we don't have many here in the south.
Bugs and stuff like the heat, so yeah, they are more common further north or in the outback where it is warmer.
I've never seen a snake in my area either. They do live in the city, but further out where the population is less dense.
brb have to feed my pet kangaroo.
