Today, I was in science class studying dead insects for biology. After packing away the jars, I noticed a red-back spider on the bench. Thinking it was missing from a jar, I picked it up. It wasn't missing. It was alive. FML

Also this is Australia. AKA the Land of Everything Trying To Kill You. I assume the spider is venomous.

one bite from red back and you're gone. good thing OP didn't get bitten by one. And making small mistake such as took arachnid as a insect or mistook a live spider for a specimen in a lab isn't a crime or something enough for OP deserve to held a dangerous spider.

The last recorded death from a Redback was 1955.

shut up about the specifics between insects and arachnids, I am someone that corrects things to a high point and even I don't go that far. It was a dangerous insect fml, not ydi so shut up

I'm not usually so pedantic either, but in this case the OP said she was in a science class studying insects. No respectable science class would let you gloss over the fact that spiders are not insects. If she really was studying insects, she should have known that the spider couldn't have been from the jar because it isn't an insect.

I agree, dropbears are the worst.

Why didn't you pass it through a radioactive beam and then let it bite you!? So many chances left untaken....
