Do not worry, my friend, for these spiders are only in australia, the only spiders you need to worry about are ones that are non deadly, and not even as venomous as this one. All the most extremely dangerous ones live in (or around) rainforests. I believe there is also a very venomous European spider.
The numbers of people getting bite from Red Back spiders is different depending on the narrator, this one said 2000 and another said 250 quite a difference. So i guess i will say it can range from 250-2000 per year.
I can't say for sure, but I think I found one of these in New Mexico. I was putting up some window graphics for a restaurant and felt something soft under my hand. When I pulled it away, I saw that I'd pushed down on the backside of what I thought was a black widow--same shape and size--except that it had red on its back (not its belly, which I couldn't see). My partner brushed it away before I could look closer, so I couldn't tell if the red mark was a stripe. Yeeks!

It's not just in Australia. We just had one fall out of a box of books and fall onto our bed. I have a feeling I might not be getting much sleep tonight...
I have seen a couple of red backs that I have sprayed with bug spray in my garage & a black widow hanging off my clothing line outside. The black widow is huge compared to the red back? Coz the one I saw (& sprayed) was pretty big & had a red key hole shape on her belly. How do I know where they are hidden? Shd I get an exterminator? I'm scaaaared!!!!
back in virginia i went to the mailbox and saw a spider that looked like a black widow since it had the red hourglass underneath it but it also had a red stripe going down the back and thin yellow stripes down the side, not sure what it was tho
White Tail Spider just found it wot it looked like sure it one of them.. but when my skin heeled up its wasnt as bad as that just little scabs didnt want to heel.. took about year to get over it
huntsmans are massive init.. i see a red back as well over there.. i got bite by one spider its wasnt really deadly tho little thing looked like a wolf spider
That is one of the oddest conversations I have seen on YT. I am wanting to know more about that spider ... what can you tell me? A link to a vid or web page?
look up youtube user MRABBIT10 and watch his funnel web video.
i promise that you will never again watch a spider vid after that. but you will probably have to spend some time in analysis, because you just will not ever forget the sound of those fangs striking at him, or the sight of it lashing out just because he breathed on it.
i reall want to watch that video u suggested but im shit scared i might have a heart attack or something 8| but im about to watch it i blame u if i die!:P
i dont know why, but im like not afraid of bigger spiders but the kind where you can just feel right up your leg. like small ones with skinny legs. like the one in the video. i was able to sit through the entire video of MRABBIT10's. do you have any others that can help?
@slk320k you can see my video of one :) found it had made a home next to our backdoor as i was walking into the house this morning i saw its web and knew it had a to be a redback...i've uploaded a video of it eating...friend caught a cricket and dropped it into the web and the spider straight away attacked it was awesome!
I kinda doubt that. I only hear that they do it after mating and according to triggerman73, their is only one species that are considered to cannibalize. In fact I think I heard the male offers himself as food afterward but that's just what I heard.
Australia is a great place to live what are u talking about? We have huge fires that wipe out national cities and floods at the same time on the opposite side of the country and yea the women are very beautiful and we are among the nicest of people you'll meet. So...aside from our fires and flash floods then the droughts and the lack of tolerance for americans we love it here in Australia and you should come and live here too. bahaha. dont even get me started on the wildlife!
Are you talking to me? Just because I said that Australia doesn't have that good looking girls and that I think there are better places on earth mean I don't like ut? I really like Australia and Perth, where I'm staying right now, but it doesn't mean that I'm forced to love every single thing just to enjoying my time.
Been in Australia sine Mar 2007 from the uk i was bitten by a red back spider on my little finger it was just sitting there as i was sewing on 2nd of January 2009 Great start to the new year gets even better went to hospital and they had me sat in the waiting room 2 frikkin hours before they called me into the observation area didnt need anti venom just ice pack and plenty of pain killers Spiders dont you just love em Just got abit complacent but now i check everything Glad to be here Australia
I have a BBC upload with some bad news for you about your homeland ....
... you have funnelwebs there too now !!! !!!
and widow spiders as well.
Apparently the milder winters there recently have not been cold enough to kill off the mediterranian funnel webs or spanish widow spiders that immigrate in luggage and imported goods.
Taike a look at the video, and ask yourself if you have had your dose of spider protein yet.
because we pissed him off 20 million years ago. ands we've been doing it alot since then...which is funny if you think about it...we're like cartman...and god is kyle...lol
oh poo my brother is moving to australia, we just watched some film lol where this mad man kills and rapes people in the outback or whatever its called and its based on a true story! nice for him then. god, australia is my idea of HELL
Can you please tell me how that has anything to do with my comment>>> does britain control the weather, did britain make the beaches, did britain produce our beautiful women.. uuummmm no they did not they only came here to claim an empire most of aust is not english in back ground so i really cant see what the point of you stupid childish comment is.. we have no wars and the best weather in the world. AUST IS THE BEST PLACE TO BE
i second that wonderful comment by thegoodguy001 and i second how irrelevant and bullshit that comment by 111alien111 just was. grow some sense you idiot.
Mate, I don't want to offend you but the australian women are not that beautiful. I am Swedish and perhaps you've heard about or seen our girls? They are legendary worldwide. I have been in australia for two months now and I really like it here. But I find it very funny that so many australian people keep saying that it's the best place to live when loads of people who are living here haven't seen that much outside of it. I really like australia, but the best place to live? Not sure bout that.
well ive travelled a lot and i think australia is the best place and most beautiful place in the world (apart from spiders) but what u said is kind of funny coz i always heard that girls from sweden were the most beautiful and i have to say ...they are ....NOT
Well, in that case you must have been unlucky. Swedish people are really patriotic and proud, but don't think I'm that when I'm saying this about our girls. I have been pretty much everywhere and there is no doubt that girls from sweden are most beautiful. Most of them blonde, blue eyes, hot bodies etc. Australian girls are descent, and compared to the average English girl, they're pure gold. And I agree about Australia beeing a really beautiful place. Otherwise I wouldn't have been here.
lol okay but when i lived in indiana (usa) i never saw one black widow, even though they are very common there! spiders usualy hide and leave u alone! but nice comment :)
Fuck that, I am moving to Brazil in two months and i have just watched a documentary about "The Brazilan wandering spider" Twice as venomous as a black widow...and they are everywhere in Brazil...Sheeeeet.
hey the blackwidow spider i caught was like a beast!!it can even kill 2 red widows!!!but my other black widow was dead when i saw the two red widows sucking her liquid thingy..nasty isnt it??
They would live in the toilets that were outside of the house in the real old houses, just like we find them in the garage mostly or around fire wood. Toilets are inside now so you wont find them there thank god.
