We found this in our daughter's room the other night. I've tried googling it but can't find a picture that matches closely. The closest I have found is an Australian Redback. I've asked around & most say that those are not found in this area (Gulf Coast of Texas). However I am in the US Navy & just returned home from deployment a few weeks ago. Our last port before heading back to the states was Perth, Australia & Hobart, Tasmania. So if it is infact the Australian Redback, we know who picked that one up in port. ha ha ha!

Thanks for your help!
