Pic does it no justice, but I've never seen one this big, and with eggs 🫣
Sent genuine shivers down my spine

Such a pretty spider. She poses no real risk to you at all – she won’t bite you if you don’t mess with her and even if she did, the venom is exceptionally unlikely to kill you. You can relocate her gently if she’s inside with a cup and some cardboard. Or leave her be if she’s outside already.Â
I do understand the shiver as an arachnophobe myself (adrenaline off the charts when I relocate one). But by getting interested in spider identification, I’ve kind of started to appreciate them aesthetically, from afar.Â
Little to no redbacks in Melbourne. I grew up in perth and and in the corner of every shed I ever went into was about 100 of those eggs.
I reckon you’ll live. But maybe don’t step backwards on that tiger snake right behind you.
You should NSFW this post and re-title it to say what it. You’ll freak a lot of arachnophobes out leaving it like this.
Was gardening a few summers ago. I moved a plastic pot with bare hands. Felt webs under the pot rim. Looked under it, my fingers where right next to a redback sheila with an arse size of a 5 cent coin. She seemed pretty chill considering I destroyed her home.
What hole did that spider squeeze those eggs from… 🤢
There’s this in my backyard lol
Wouldn’t really stress. Ive never even met a person who has been bitten by one.
Redbacks are everywhere. Not a big deal.
Mate, burn the house
Found two under my car the other week, big suckers too.
I love that they are actually very docile
Your welcome
I just got back from Melbourne. And thankfully, all I saw were the grey headed flying foxes at dusk.
Was in a 13th floor apartment and they flew past the balcony.
Absolutely MASSIVE 😂
I found one last week when moving some old plywood leaning against the garage wall. We have small children so she had to go to the big web in the sky. I made it quick and painless…
