Redback Spider
Next, we have a relative of the black widow, which we will be getting to soon! Again, the species is not very common though it’s native to Australia and more recently New Zealand. If you’re in Australia, beware since they often nest in homes. Though, they are not typically aggressive, the female spiders tend to bite when defending their eggs. They also bite when inside of shoes or clothing, and they become trapped while someone is getting dressed. The redback is venomous, but only about twenty percent of victims bitten are envenomed. Over 250 bites from this deadly spider are treated annually in Australia.
