Fast, secretive, and potentially fatal, this Black Widow Spider was a little difficult to photograph.
All it wanted to do was run away and hide. I did get a few good photos though. Some are when it was curled up in a ball as a defense mechanism. Others were after it ran through some sand and got dirty. But, without getting bit, I captured it "on film."
This one was found down on our land in a pile of rocks by our oldest boy, Monster Truck the Pepper! He immediately recognized it and notified me. It sure makes me glad that we train them properly.
