I’ll never forget the time I woke up and thought there was hair in my mouth but it was a daddy longlegs 
It was about 25 years ago!

Is this the animal that several years ago you were sending off the picture to a university or something for ID. I may have the story all wrong, something similar to that though.

@Shel75 that’s a hornets nest I believe.
Sometimes ( usually ) in the ground.
Grandaddy long legs are harmless even though they do have a toxin just not much @Just_Laura
I live w scorpions. I relocate them frequently. Once I had one in my mouth!
Last week a friend put her shoes on, ran errands around town for two hours, walked into produce dept at the grocery store and got stung in her shoe. The docile creature had been in her shoe all that time.
I could be wrong on all this. I didn’t fact check it.
Assassin beetles ( kissing bugs) can be the worst.

Nice memory 
The phascogale was an easy ID, so I think the one you thinking of is the Bettong as we sent pics off for confirmation with Lands and Wildlife. They flip flopped a bit before saying it wasn’t, but we are positive we have seen others since but not on camera.

Looks so much like a European Buzzard. Rough Legged Hawk could very well be right
