Redback Spider

Thanks for looking

Wow!! This is a beautiful shot. The detail is wonderful. I almost feel like I could touch it. Very nice!

Im not sure if I would want to touch it. They are quite venomous. Thanks for your wounderful comment.

Nice capture. I grew up with a garage infested with these spiders and definitely don't want to touch it... but it's interesting to view. -Clayton

Thanks for the comment Clayton

The detail in this is magnificent. I want your macro lens ! I love how strands of the web are highlighted and how you can see the fur-like appearance of the very fine hairs on the body. The red markings on the back are great ... it leaves no doubt as to what kind of spider this is. Also the dof is fantastic.

Great detail. Excellent.

An alluring composition that captivates with its colors and details.

Excellent macro with great detail and colors. Nice job!

And real enough to send shivers down my spine!

Ken, I have relatives in Australia and this is the reason I don't visit them. Excellent shot. Can you tell me what lens you used? Regards.

This is only a Red Back Spider. They hurt like shit and make you very ill but wait till you come across the Funnel Web, they can jump several feet and 20 years ago there was no antivenene, bites commonly resulted in death. PS EF100mm macro
