Spider was quite fine and wandered off to the verge. They kindly didn’t bite me.

Did the neighbour forget, or had the spider already taken care of them?

You need to move. The spider owns that entire street now.

Don’t know if it’s just my area but I’ve seen more of these in Sydney in the past year than the previous 40 years.

Not usually at all aggressive unless provoked, despite the fsct that they can kill.
A simple “quick”‘brush off was a god choice. They deserve to live.

A beautiful female – juvenile I believe based on the brown coloration and markings. Pretty calm creatures unless you’re really hassling them.

Redbacks are normally pretty chill, glad you weren’t bit.

I lived in Margaret River. I moved my couch to vacuum and found a nest with plenty of them. To say I freaked out is an understatement.

Redbacks get such a bad rap but theyre such great looking spiders and are super cool
They’re super reluctant to bite and only really do when pressure is applied from above (which doesnt go well when they hide in places like under bike seats and stuff)
They also go about hunting in a very unusual way, unlike other spiders that envenom their prey and then wrap it up with Web they instead wrap before biting. Its like watching them dance or continuously lasso their prey. Its actually crazy to watch

I found a spider in the kitchen one day when the kids were little. I trapped it in a glass jar and took it to show the kids. I’m like “look at this cool spider kids, look! Oh shit…!” Luckily I put a lid on the jar but that came came off just far enough to empty a can of bug spray into it lol!

No point in wasting venom on something you won’t be able to eat, smart spoder lady and good on you not killing her free pest control is good too

is every person commenting ‘buy a lotto ticket’ unaware of how few deaths redbacks have caused, or are they all working for the lottery 😆

When mum died I had to repot some rose bushes.
When we out that house on the rental market I relocated those new bushes, 3 of them, to our apartment.
A week later I was eating a tasty succulent Chinese meal on my car at work on a break (on site) and felt something crawling around my arm.
5 little red backs.

I’ve been bitten by one, when it crawled up the leg of my trousers. It hurt, I got a big bruise like a tennis ball segment and then it itched like crazy for a few days. It wasn’t a great experience but I’ve had worse.
