Thanks John. No, they often eat their mates. Part of the rich tapestry of Australia's deadly smallish creatures.

They aren't too hard to avoid. They stay at their web and they don't move quickly. Wear gloves and don't reach where you can't see when moving things which have been undisturbed for weeks/months.
