My wife would get a heart attack it that showed up here. Forgive me my ignorance, but why the purple spot on her back? | ||

Red hourglass on her belly Black widow with a painful bite some die from. I think there are seven different color & texture variations and they all have the hourglass. | ||

is the hourglass doctored for effect or does it look funny from the flash? jus' wonderin' | ||
| Gjmcmanus |
 Great picture, great touch (photoshop) on the picture to bring out the details.. | ||

It was doctored to color match the colored flower petal, but it appears the color matching didn't flatten out and blend like it normally does(looking at a different monitor then it was edited on). This particular one has an orangish red hourglass. The one I shot last year has a dark red hourglass.  (last years) | ||

And to think I rode thru your neighborhood this morning! I am really happy I didn't see any of those critters. All the bugs in my neighborhood are old and don't have teeth hence no bite but a lot of bark. | ||

Do they make good pets? Can ya keep them in a terrarium? | ||

Bill you were out during the day so your safe  Danny yes you can, they prefer to eat insects, just beware, she lays roughly 100-500 eggs per sac, and the offspring will fit thru any of the meshing you would use to allow ventilation. | ||

100-500  that makes me sick just thinking about it. | ||

...after surviving 25 spider bites at one time, I have no use or sympathy for any of them...if I see them they are summarily smashed without hesitation or remorse. Death to the arachnids, death to them all! | ||

If there is any thing I hate worse than spiders I don't know it. When they found out at work I told my superviser at work if any body put a spider on me there would 2 people fired and I would be put in jail. One thing I don't play with is spiders. | ||
