Black Widow - not the game
wbassett:
I've only ever seen one.
When I was in the military and stationed in Virgina my supervisor told me to go to our supply shed and get some cable for work we were doing. I was moving things around and came across a web and saw that red hour glass and it scared the hell out of me! I knew they are only deadly to small children or sick people, but that is a scary looking spider and its reputation definitely preceeds it!
I booked it out of there and the bossman was like "What? You're scared of a little spider?" He went out and was immediately back in calling Public Works to get an exterminator out. The shed was infested with them. They weren't all in one spot, but were all throughout the shed.
Spiders to me are like Indiana Jones is with with snakes! Well maybe not that bad but I definitely stay away from them!

Every time someone around here complains about the New England winters I think about crap like you guys are describing... and scorpions... and rattlesnakes... and think I like ice a whole lot more than I like poisonous snakes and spiders.

Today, it's 72 degrees F and sunny... I'll take a few creepy-crawlies and some snakes over subfreezing weather and 4 ft snowdrifts, thankyouverymuch... :afro:

I live in Illinois. If any of you have ever been to Illinois, you'll see one of two things as far as the eye can see: bean fields or corn fields. Its hard to escape the corn fields. I live right on the edge of one. We get TONS of wolf spiders, but I've never seen and black widow. Im surprised I don't see black widows in the summer. It gets really hot and really humid in the summers. We also have to worry about brown recluse up in the attics. Haven't seen one yet.

I live in the small hills part, about 55 miles directly north of Nashville, Tn.

Yeah, yeah. My cousin has a house in SD that is huge and gorgeous. Huge back yard. Kids can't play in it because it's full of rattlesnakes. Worst thing you'll find in my yard is turkeys.
