Apparantly so - it seems all bugs in my backyard prefer to have their undersides taken. I'm no expert on spiders, or bugs, or snakes, or anything I didn't grow up with (NZ don't have too many poisonous nasties), so feel free to tell me exactly what these things are

That looks like a female adult. I think. Males stripes are less distinct and the females at adult stage is a redy/orange color. Whereas the juvenile is quite red and they usually have a white tip on their abdomen.
