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.

No wonder why when I flushed a spider down the toilet it came to bite me back in the ass metaphorically and literally lol

Try putting a daddy long legs in the spider aquarium please. Daddy long legs eat venomous spiders.
-
Please don't say sorry, your spider videos are what keeps you alive, and it's the best content, frankly.

Love how there's just a humble centipede chilling in the container with the spider

Hey, Leo! I'm wondering - if just straight water doesn't work, would putting a few drops of dish soap in it work? It breaks the surface tension of the water, so it's harder for them to stay afloat, and might actually coat them as they slide into the water, effectively stopping them from breathing through their exoskeletons. When my kittens had fleas, we used warm water with a bit of soap in it to help keep the fleas from floating in the water, clinging to the glass container, and generally stopping them from attempted escape. It worked pretty well. But a spider is much bigger than a flea, and all of their hairs are great at trapping air bubbles. (There's actually a species that lives completely underwater for its whole life - the diving bell spider, and that's how it survives. Its hairs trap air as it dives - I assume it's the same principle for something like a redback.)

I love they way you spell spiders incorrectly on purpose :)
-
I drownd a spider one time, but I felt really bad after doing it cus he was tryna survive like me so I tried to revive the dude but rip
-
IT IS STOPABLE!!! Where is my shoe?
-
I love that label. “SPIDUR.” it adds the menacing parts to the buggy.
-
who disliked the vid show yourself
-
... I need to stop watching these at night... ahhhhhhh
-
For the air bubbles to exist there must be water tension created by her tiny hairs on her legs , the alcohol isn't water , therefore isn't polarised like a water molecule and little lady can't breath .

Great video! What you've done there by drowning the red back in the Metho is, you've begun the process of preserving it, almost like you've frozen it. Metho is really great at preserving fresh things like beach worms (for fish bait) etc. If the red back hasn't been killed, already, it should stay alive for quite some time in a "frozen" state due to the Metho. Hope I could help out with this explanation :)
