"Airborne red back" typically refers to a dangerous spider species commonly found in Australia, known for its venomous bite. Synonyms for the phrase include "Australian red back spider," "redback," and "Latrodectus hasselti." Other common names for the spider include "Jockey spider" and "Karakurt spider." While the venom of these spiders is potent and can cause serious health issues, deaths from bites are rare due to the availability of antivenom and medical treatment. However, it is important to take measures to avoid contact with these spiders and seek medical attention if bitten, as symptoms can include severe pain, muscle spasms, and respiratory distress.
