On one of my trips around Australia we had on night one what I was sure was an Alien flesh eating Monster in the 4x4. My kids were little, ranging from about 5 to 12. It was night, and one by one two of them started screaming like they were about to be cut in half. Both boys were trying to cling to the roof lining, feet on the rear armrests, hands on the front seats, bums on the roof. Screamed the car to a stop.Lots of ants as well we have inchmen ( cause they are an inch long ) and bluebottles while not deadly they sure can sting and bite.
Anyway, long story short, I dismantled every single removable item, shoe, sock and blanket from the car until i found the squashed corpses of two big bull ants. Took me over an hour by torch light. Funny now but the kids were not happy. Great start to a year on the road around OZ...night bloody one
