Redback Spiders
Anyone else get these in their backyard?
I was out last night with a flashlight, and there are dozens around my pool, under the pool fence, in the rolled up pool cover, in the drains and even in the base of the basketball hoop. Found a few of these crawling away from their webs, I'm thinking if someone would've been walking around in bare feet or something they'd could easily get bitten.
Ofocourse, my backyard also contains orb weavers, huntsmen , black house spiders, daddy long legs, etc.
While observing last night, I walked into a spider web suspended across the entire backyard!!! YUCK! Not to mention getting rid of strands across the aperture of the scope!
