Black Widow


Yesterday we were out in our front yard and I saw Ryan reaching in the corner of the porch. I went to see what he was doing and he was trying to pick up a black widow spider. I freaked out!. I didn't know it was a black widow at first but I caught it in a jar so I could check. It had a perfect red hour glass shape on its belly. I think that was the first time I have ever really seen one. Well anyway good thing it didn't bite him being that they are one of the most poisonous spiders.

Yuck! I have never seen one either and hope to never, but I'm sure my boys would be the same way trying to pick it up. So did you kill it?

Yeah I killed it! I drinched it with spider kill spray then sqished it with a stick!

You are a brave woman putting your hands near that. That is my biggest nightmare getting bit by one of those things, especially my kids!
