There are some spiders you shouldn't mess with, and one of them is the extremely venomous redback spider from Australia.

The spider's nasty venom can cause serious illness to humans, and this poor snake in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia was about to be the spider's next victim. It was due to meet its end on Sunday, when its tail got caught in a thick web that was home to a redback. The snake tried to wiggle away with no luck.

This is one combination you don't want to come across in the terrifying Australian outback.
