Spider (and Stuff)

[downsouth]

Found some more poor subjects to take pictures of early this morning. Anyone know what kind of spider this is? I thought it was a black widow, but the markings are a little off.

Not such a fan of the spiders or hornets (?) But the pics are great and the little frog is so adorable. Great pics. Sorry, don't know what the spider is though.

Thanks for the comment, I was actually looking for more spiders when I found this frog, he kind of startled me.

OK, just did some research and found out it is a Black Widow Spider, just a juvenile one. As a juvenile, they have red and white markings on the upper abdomen, while adult females are easily identified by the red hourglass marking on the lower abdomen.

It's not a redback. They are only in Australia for one, and they don't have markings like that.

I may liek to photograph spiders and other wildlife, but I really am afraid of spiders. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.

I would get rid of the hornet nest, hornets and wasps make their nests out of chewed up dead wood- they will use any dead wood near them and can cause quite a bit of damage to wooded beams, ceilings, floors etc. Plus they are nasty insects- if you've ever been stung by a bee or wasp in your life, these are like 20 times worse.

The black widow spider, although deadly, are not agressive as long as you stay out of their territory- you may want to ask wether you want to be on the safe side though, you don't want anyone who doesn't know about it bumping into it and getting bitten .
I have no idea what the frog is though.

Ahhh, these black widows are everywhere you go around here. Just have to keep an eye out, (so you can get good photos!! )
