redback spider
Venomous outback crawler
A redback spider is a venomous Australian spider, black with a distinctive red stripe on the female's abdomen.
Related to the black widow, it builds messy webs in sheltered spots—sheds, outdoor toilets, under furniture.
Its bite causes severe pain and requires medical attention: She was bitten by a redback while gardening.
