Some kind of beautiful black widow, probably a Northern. Built her web on a bag of potting soil, so I had to scrooch her along. Absolutely gorgeous and huge! She was definitely well fed

    I spent my youth terrified of black widows because one of them sent my dad to the hospital when I was a small child; he had to be intubated and everything. Really messed me up seeing him like that.

      I know a guy who almost lost his arm because of a black widow bite, and he was very lethargic for a couple of weeks while recovering.
