id on this spider plz?

[spilota_variegata]

Not too sure but it looks like a redback. Could it be a Steatoda, the cupboard or brown house spider? I think they can hurt you a bit if they bite you. I hate spiders... I wouldn't take the risk.

I am on the central coast too Jordan, I don't think that is a red back, but just about every spider can bite, so pick it up with a stick and put it outside. I've seen them around but there are so many different species and sub species of spider it's mind boggling.

looks like a big fat tick with extra long legs to me....lol

They're quite common up in the tropics, no idea how dangerous they are.

it is a red house spider Nesticodes rufipes

u sure?? will they hurt?

 

[jamesr]

Male redback, poisonous. I'd be calling pest control asap - especially if you have any furry pets or children around the house. If there's a male around there is certin to be a female or two.

noooo dont kill it

black widow!

it is a red house spider Nesticodes rufipes

Absolutely AGREED!

Page 34 of "Wildlife of Tropical North Queensland" - ironically directly under the redback spider.

Notes:

Bite - Mild to devere local pain

Web - Tangled, fine, exposed 'retreat'

Habitat and Range - Dark corners in houses, most common in summer. Australia wide.

[scam7278]

i thought it was a female redback ??? dont males have the red stripe and the females have no red stripe ????

 

[jack]

it is not a red back...
it is not a red legged house spider (Nesticodes sp.)...
refer to my first post page one... good night!

This spider in my opinion is a Steatoda livens family Theridiidae commonly known as the cupboard spider, its not listed anywhere i can see as poisonous and lives in a communal relationship with humans ie ,in or around our homes. Supposed to be non aggressive like a redback. Maybe pick it up on a peice of paper and put outside away form door. Goodluck

 

[Brettix]

yep 150% steatoda no doubt!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[reptilegirl_jordan]

oh no i found it,there cute little ceatures,wanted the know what it was,lol.they were in the shed,got 3 of them,what would happern if they bite u? i was gonna keep them and see if the arp needed them

 

[lizard_lover]

i sware its a fish

 

[hornet]

thats not redback, males are alot smaller, it looks like a widow of some sort but its most certainly a girl

 

[slim6y]

No, I now absolutely agree with Jack and others of the mind that it's a cupboard spider...

Only on viewing pictures of this said spider... it was a close call tho!
