Red Back Spider
The red-back spider is one of the most dangerous spiders native to Australia. They like to inhabit urban areas & build their webs on bins & sheds. For this reason they are often in touch with humans.
Watch out for the female as she is the one that bites. The jaws of the male are not big enough to bite humans. The red markings are only found on the female (the male has white markings). Did you know a red-back spider can go without food for 90 days!
