The Red Back Spider, basically, don't mess with this spider, one bite and you could be in serious trouble, basically, since there has been an anti venom there have been no more recorded deaths, but boy, will you be feeling pretty crook for a few days even with the anti venom. ( for more info see wikipedia page on the redback ) And this one is just lurking at the side of the house right next to the where you put your hand to turn on the garden hose. back to the garden ( yes, I killed it ) and to my favourite flower, Frangipani Tropical version detail shot of inside of the palm leave love the amber colour more Frangipani storm clouds rolling in garden is really dry and basically nearly the whole time I was away it did not rain looks like I brought Belgium sky with me The Garden Orb spider, looks as menacing as the red back, is bigger than the red back, is nocturnal and usually spins its web in a section of the garden where you usually walk through, so in the mornings when still bleary eyes, there is a high probability that you end up with your face in its web. Although not harmful to humans, it can bite ( extremely rare as they prefer to retreat or drop down and play dead ) a bite will swell, go red and be itchy but this lasts up to 4 hours I'm just loving all the detail I'm getting with the new macro 100mm scary looking thing :-)
