Widow Makers

[Jeff G]

Brown Widow Spider, the Black Widow's cousin. I don't mind admitting these made me a bit uncomfortable, I was only a couple of inches away, and they are freakin' fast!

Thank you, when she took off running I about jumped out of my skin!

And to think I was scared shooting a praying mantis Great job!

 

[Jeff G]

Thanks Dean, usually bugs don't bother me but when I know they are packin' venom I try to be cautious.

I din't know it either until I looked it up yesterday.

Thanks Jeff, I know how much you like creepy crawlies!

Cool. Same for me, I didn't know that there was a brown one. It's interesting that the red hour glass figure is easily seen.

 

[Jeff G]

Steven, the hour glass is bright orange instead of red, I just thought she was a miscolord black widow but it intreagued me enough to look it up.
