Hands up who knows what this creepy thing is? I knew as soon as I saw it CRAWL OFF MY TOWEL AND PAST MY TOE that it was a red back! Eeeeep!
All my childhood I remember hearing "watch out for redbacks and funnel webs." I used to laugh at newbies to Australia, especially the English, when they would freak out about living in a country with such dangerous animals. I always thought you had to live somewhere really "bush" to come across one...Now I have proof that you don't.
We caught HER, so she could be milked, but Poisons Info said they don't do that anymore...RIP little missy! She got sprayed as soon as I hung up the phone. I was seriously surprised at how red the "red" stripe is...It doesn't really show in the photo, but it is quite bright.
And no Mother S, this is not a good enough reason to move from Adelaide ;o)

Eeek! Was this in the backyard or in the bathroom? The bathroom would be scary, if you were nudie and all.
and that red strip is really red. Thank God that he made it so obvious!
Um, yeah, it was in the bathroom, so it was pretty ding dong scary! But it was just drying my hands, so no nudes involved!
