User's notes

I just want to confirm that this is, indeed, a Redback Spider and not simply a spider with a red back. I haven't had time to clean up the area it had its web in so I don't yet know if there are egg sacs somewhere. The spider was alive at the time of sighting but is now disposed of for safety.
