      Thank you Claire.
      Yes it is a showy spider but it knows how to hide and you don't see it often. It is also very fast.
      Love your photos and your work.       Posted 8 years ago

    Great shot Ernst. These rarely stop moving. Nicodamus has recently gained many more species. Posted 8 years ago

The Red and black Spider

"Nicodamus peregrinus" is a spider found in eastern and southern Australia. Unlike the redback spider, the bright red coloration does not appear to warn of significant danger to humans. Food is a variety of small insects. They have been recorded in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
