Test to lure a Redback spider using a cat whisker at night. This is the last month or Winter and the spider season is just around the corner. This Redback was set up in Mrs Cow and it was weird to see her setting up downlines of spider web during winter. Redback spiders are timid night time spiders that are very difficult to lure out of their webs. I learned a method to fool the spider by imitating a insect struggling in the spiders web. The next night I find a beetle and feed it to the Redback. We get to see how these spiders use web to control critters more powerful than them. The Australian Redback spider is a totally awesome deadly spider thats sadly a dangerous garden pest.

The Redback spider (Latrodectus hasseltii) is a species of venomous spider indigenous to Australia. 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 have a body length of about 10 millimetres (0.4 in), while the male is much smaller, being only 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long. Mainly nocturnal, the female Redback lives in an untidy web in a warm sheltered location, commonly near or inside human residences. It preys on insects, spiders and small vertebrates that become ensnared in its web. It kills its prey by injecting a complex venom through its two fangs when it bites, before wrapping them in silk and sucking out the liquefied insides. Male spiders and spiderlings often live on the periphery of the female spiders’ web and steal leftovers. Other species of spider and parasitoid wasps prey on this species. The Redback is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. The sperm is then stored in the spermathecae, organs of the female reproductive tract, and can be used up to two years later to fertilise several clutches of eggs. Each clutch averages 250 eggs and is housed in a round white silken egg sac. The Redback spider has a widespread distribution in Australia, and inadvertent introductions have led to established colonies in New Zealand, Japan, and in greenhouses in Belgium.
The redback is one of the few spider species that can be seriously harmful to humans, and its preferred habitat has led it to being responsible for the large majority of serious spider bites in Australia.

  27. I don’t understand why YouTube is doing this to you, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing, you’re just filming and talking about spiders, I personally enjoy watching your videos because they’re entertaining! If YouTube can’t see that, then they are blinded by their own ego
