Spiders of Australia

A talented force of nature

The orb-weaver constructs it’s web

Each intricate line

Is a mosaic that’s purely original

 A small but deadly hole

Woven into the ground

The funnel-web spider waits patiently

For a pest to stumble past

The red-back spider

Renowned for its potent venom

Are powerful females

Strong and independent

Huntsman spiders

Considered scary and intimidating

Really don’t pack much punch in their bite

And would rather keep to themselves

The jumping spider

Small and compact

Gazes with large eyes

Jumping swiftly from place to place
