Man, that's a wicked looking spider. It reminds me of one we see out here ALL OVER the place. Ours are harmless, it's coloring is a "Don't mess with me" bluff. Same shade of red body with a puss yellow abdomen. But they're pretty much harmless. How nasty are these little critters in that pic?
And love the birds! I love birds a lot. I have had them as friends and companions my whole life.
