Came home after work. Nick went to the mailbox with BBQ tongs and spider spray, there were 2 redback spiders in our mailbox.
Another round of Wikipedia: The redback spider is a dangerous spider endemic to Australia. It is a member of the genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders, which are found throughout the world. The female has a black body with red stripe on the upper side (the back) of her abdomen. Females have a body length of a centimetre while the male is smaller, being only 3 to 4 millimetres long. The redback spider is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating.
Redbacks are considered one of the most dangerous species of spider in Australia. The redback spider has a neurotoxic venom that is toxic to humans with bites causing severe pain, often for over 24 hours.
My housemate Cait wanted to
have an Evil Dead marathon. I joined her. We made it through the first 2 movies. We didn't watch the third one.
