redback spider
a highly venomous spider
Latrodectus hasseltii, also known as the Australian black widow spider.
It is believed to originate in the deserts of SA and WA, but now found throughout Australia, SE Asia and New Zealand.
The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside.
Females usually have a body length of about 10 mm, while the male is much smaller, being only 3–4 mm long. Mainly nocturnal, the female redback lives in an untidy web in a warm sheltered location, commonly near or inside human residences. It preys on insects, spiders and small vertebrates that become ensnared in its web. It kills its prey by injecting a complex venom through its two fangs when it bites, before wrapping them in silk and sucking out the liquefied insides.
