love it! great dof and awesome colours. I was bitten by one at Stradbroke Island one time, was a weird and rather scary experience. I had it in my hat of all places! @isaloha they're very closely related (both in the genus Latrodectus)
Teresa - Excellent macro and very interesting subject. I lived in Sacramento, California and the first house that my wife and I rented had many "Black Widow" spiders in the garage. They have a red "hour glass" shape on their underside. My wife was bitten by one when she was younger.
So I guess in the northern hemisphere the black widows have the hour glass under them and in the Southern hemisphere they have them on top..each hour glass is "pointing" to the equator.
This has great detail Teresa, can see the red bit so clear.
I'm starting to not mind spider shots so much...my golden orb fro Jan 23rd is still going well. I couldn't kill him now!! But as far as I know the orbs are not poisoness
@aspada there hasn't been a fatal bite in more than 50 years. I was on an island so decided to wait til I got back to the mainland, and by that time the immediate symptoms had subsided. The weird thing was that an area around the bite kept sweating, it was running into my eyes for days! :)
great shot... but i wish i didnt read... so pleased to live in Ireland where I think the worst that can happen that includes any animals is some sheep blocking the country road...no idea how you live with all the snakes and insects all over the place...
We killed a black widow outside by our grill last year and they said you can tell by the hourglass on the back and that they are super shiney! and that sure looks like one to me.... ewwwwww. but great shot
This photo is wrong on so many levels ... HATE spiders!
And apart from educational pictures etc, this is possibly the first I've actually "seen" one ... thankfully I haven't had the pleasure here ... have had the pleasure of huntsmen racing up my arm ... not fun!
Is it like the black widow?

Oh, btw those are deadly just so you know! :)
