Eastern Mouse Spider (Missulena bradleyi)

This female specimen is most likely expressing a rare genetic mutation, bearing red pigmentation instead of the species' normal black colour.

 

More information about these unusual spiders and their origins can be found on my online Australian Geographic article - www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/wildlife/2015/08/r...
