I quite like that photo.You're right about their appearance, nothing to look at . Their toxin is weird though, it basically eats the flesh and there's no cure for it, the infected area has to be cut out. A friend of mine got bitten by one, it took the doctor a day or two to work out what the problem was, then he had to sit in a pressurised vessel to stop the poison spreading, he then had about a two inch in diameter disc cut out of his arm. We have Black widows out here too, nasty but not fatal, Oz has far worse than here.
Not to offend anyone but.....
If you turn it sideways and squint your eyes it looks like a toasted fanny.
Just needs a bit of honey on it.
