I like to know danger is coming ahead of time, not waiting in my sock.

I think I'd be too paranoid to function if I lived somewhere that commonly had dangerous tiny animals like this.

You mean Australia? This meme is such a weird overreaction - Australia literally has one spider bite death in the last 42 years, 1-2 snake deaths per year. I'd be much more scared of North American wildlife, bears are scary and anything can carry rabies
