These are colourful and easy to see.
We only discovered these in the garden when my BH started doing her macro photos.
They are very harmless (unless you are a male moth.)
Iâve now seen it allâŠ

As you are an expert Bruce on spiders what do they taste like and can you use the legs as toothpicks?

Lots of these in the garden and the house but they are very cute.

Hereâs a few:
This St Andrews displaced a family of Redbacks living around my front door.
This is a Redback in a flower pot (I think they are called Black Widows in other countries)
This amazing spider is an Orb Weaver, they make the stickiest invisible web stretching across gaps of 3 metres (no idea how) You only know because you walk into the web which sticks like the proverbial - it is back the next morning. The body is about as wide as your thumb, normally they are not so visible until something gets into the web.
Trying to be as small as possible
Here is one looking after its babies

Yes⊠but do they creep up the dunny?
I like the Saint Andrews spider for what itâs worth.
You mean the Redback on the toilet seat?

Packed lunch
Ha!
I wasnât sure if that was some kind of a myth. A quick Google tells me otherwise, they lurk under the seats it would seem.
Depends on the dunny I suppose but personally I check roadside public loos for snakes rather than spiders. Brown snakes in particular have a habit of warming themselves on the walls of a loo (there is a gap between the top of the wall and the tin roof to let the heat out)
