Well I wanted to get some pictures of it so I had to fool with and brush it back into the can. I tried to capture it while it was on the end of a stick I was holding, but I found it very hard to get a picture of a moving spider using one hand to steady the camera and the stick. So I had to squish the spider:-( Which probably was my intention all along, cause what was I to do, leave a Black Widow roaming in my yard. It had already spent the night in my car where I had left the watering can the previous night.
Here it is. Freaky! I had never seen one in person before. But I sure knew what it was the first moment I saw it.
We used to get those all the time back home. We knew from a young age what to look for, these spiders sure do make it easy to spot them. Glad you weren't bit!
