Description

Apophysis 2.05beta2 Z+ & PS CS2 Redbacks are Australia's best-known spider. They appear in songs and even have a beer named after them. Redbacks live all over Australia but are less common in colder regions like Tasmania. They thrive in populated areas. Hundreds of bites are reported each year but less than 30 percent require antivenom treatment. Before an antivenom was available, Redback bites caused about a dozen known deaths. Only female Redbacks usually bite people - the males are generally too small. Comments most welcome Thanks to defeated-stock over at DA for the stock image Me-----> :)

OOOHHH Ok Really odd thing I love spiders but can't stand Spider webs. I have two tarantulas and in two big cages. No I do not milk them or defang them. They have these massive intricket webs. If they ever got out I would just freak. not coz of the spiders. but coz of the web.

This one must have been living the last 50 years in that corner according to the size of its web. ;) Cool idea and realisation.

That's an impressive web. I like the contrast of the solid parts with the transparent layers. It really gives the impression that the spider has been at it for a loooong time.
