redback spider

the summer heat is bringing out all the bugs & spiders...this huge redback spider was feasting on a praying mantis!

Yuk, great shot but really icky subject. Can't stand red backs and I really hope you had a very strong lens so you didn't have to get too close!

eeew!! that's one thing I don't miss about Perth - so far in three years haven't seen one on Bribie!! Great shot.
