Nicodamus peregrinus known as the Red and Black spider is a common spider found in eastern and southern Australia. Unlike with 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 Tasmania and South Australia.
