This is the back of a redback spider. Notice the eye like indentations on the back? Creepy. :)

The redback spider is a dangerous spider native to Australia. It has a neurotoxic venom toxic to humans with bites causing severe pain and sometimes death.

This one was casually sitting under my patio at home when I woke up one morning. Could have easily stepped on it.

Oh, you're looking at the back part of the spider only. The entire spider isn't much bigger than a dime.

Other redback photos are in my folio if you're interested in the entire animal.

I understand what OMG means, I think anyway, like Oh My God. How is this connected to a big ugly bug butt? :D Are you afraid of bugs, or is this hiney just unbelievable good looking in your opinion? Just curious.

As for the image quality, it's pretty well focused, but the harsh lighting is overpowering it somewhat. In the end, I wish you good luck in the challenge. :-)

I think it's a little abstract for the challenge, but if I came across that I would image I would react like that.

Yikes, I hate spiders, and this guy is way too close for comfort! Trying to be objective here as I catch my breath from hyperventilation...
