Hmm red _back_ ? I scratched head and then looked up the stats. Our version has the red hourglass on the lady's belly... but I see it is the
same genus as your redback

I like Larry's portrait... I try to remember spiders are our friends, but if I had seen a genuine black widow I think it would ahve unhinged me a little..

alcoholic poisoning.

I take no responsibility for the truth of the story!

Found this girl in my garage last night, spent some time pestering her with my 
camera and flash.  I
did sacrifice a little sharpness by putting the 1.4x teleconverter on my 90mm 
macro lens.
