Description

The redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti), also known as the Australian black widow, is a highly venomous spider found throughout Australia, Southeast Asia and New Zealand. It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside. Females usually have a body length of about 10mm, while the male is much smaller, being only 4mm long.
