Yahoo, the weather has finally cooled. I decided to attack the fiasco (my garden). I grabbed my prized implements and headed off to the backyard. As I made my way to the back, I noticed a familiar spider. I don't know if you have these around your house but we have.
This is the notorious black widow spider. From what I understand, these nice ladies mate with there partners and kill him after they satisfied their itch. I think this brings a new meaning to taking him home to meet the parents. For these nice ladies it would be taking the home to be eaten by the parents.
You can identify them by the bright red hour glass on their backs. I have never been bitten by one but I heard it is probably not deadly but also not advisable.
Well I put this one to bed as I have so many others. I do respect their right to live but I would rather they live somewhere else. Thanks for visiting.
