Insects are the usual prey of Redback Spiders,
but they are capable of capturing quite large
animals, such as male trapdoor spiders, king
crickets and small lizards, if they become
entangled in the web. Prey-stealing is also
common, with large females taking stored food
items from others' webs.
Danger to humans
Redback bites occur frequently, particularly over the summer months.
More than 250 cases receive antivenom each year, with several milder
envenomations probably going unreported. Only the female bite is
dangerous. They can cause serious illness and have caused deaths.
However, since Redback Spiders rarely leave their webs, humans are
not likely to be bitten unless a body part such as a hand is put directly
into the web, and because of their small jaws many bites are ineffective.
The venom acts directly on the nerves, resulting in release and
subsequent depletion of neurotransmitters.
The notorious Black Widow Spider of the
United States is a close relative of the
Redback Spider, and only differs in
appearance by the absence of a red
dorsal stripe. Other species of Redbacks
occur in Africa, New Zealand, the Pacific
Islands, Europe and North and South
America.
