The mighty redback is a member of the Black Widow family and is common in many parts of Australia. Particularly in newly settled areas. A redback bite will make you very sick and it is easy to get infestations with redbacks producing thousands of eggs per reproductive cycle and having its reproductive cycle every 3 weeks.

The huntsman is a very common spider to find in houses all over Australia. I took this shot against the bedroom wall in my folks bedroom in Sydney. Good looking aren’t they?

I came across this green jumping spider in the bushes next to the front door at my previous house. I was lucky enough to catch him at lunch!

This shot was taken of a green jumping spider in the backyard of my previous house. Amazing eyes.

This crab was found wallowing in a small, sandy ravine at the waters edge on Kawana Island. I don’t know his particular species – but loved his eyes.. they remind me of pearls.

Apparently “pimp my ride” has reached the world of the creepy crawly.. I’ve not seen a “chrome” spider before – and found this little guy fascinating…
