Red-back Spider. The redback is supposed to be one of the most dangerous spiders in the world

Back in January I casually noted that there’s not a red-back spider or similar deadly critter hidden around every corner.

Now we’re in October I thought I’d never get around to meeting anything that could potentially kill me and if I’m being honest I was starting to get act a little to laid back when I was sweeping out the dead fly carcases from the shed in our new house with my hand!

Well, I can now safely say it’s time to reset the deadly creature encounter counter as yesterday I came face to face with my first Australia red-back spider.
