venom verses venom I wouldn't like to be bitten by either one.
how strong must that web be
 
Yeah they will do that, never seen them catch anything that big before though. They have extremely strong webs and like to snack on a bit of reptile every now and then, they seem to be thriving with all the AHG's around these days.
A very under rated and over hated spider IMO

What is the snake?
 
I had only read it in a book that red backs take on snakes... now it's in black and white (well, colour) and that's solved that mystery for me.... :)
 
When i was in Kalgoorlie there was a story printed that showed a Dead Red Belly in a Red Backs web. It was discovered because the spider also bit the home owner on the leg when she brushed past it. A very hungry Red Back lol
Thanks for the article, sadly i don't have mine
 
Yeah spiders are cool.
If you read the little caption under the picture it says its 'believed to be a brown snake'
