RE: The frogs are out!
Red legged purseweb spiders belongs to the sub-order Orthognatha (Mygalomorphae) or primitive spiders.
Some of the largest most aggressive spiders and poisonous spiders belong to this sub-order, like Tarantulas that can be found in pet shops.
Haha, glad that this one in your garden wasn't an Atypidae Tarantula with his legs shaved!! LoL
Thanks for sharing! This sounds about right because this spider looked ancient or prehistoric. I mean look at those fangs! Tarantulas don't have fangs this big. So I bet this spider has the biggest fangs in the spider world. Like little Fiddler Crabs have the biggest claws in the crab world. That's body size ratio
