YEEEES! Finally the "magic" of the black widow spider was revealed to me.
Well hidden between tomato plants I found this while working.
Glad I didn't touch it while weeding the plants.
I had been waiting for this legendary spider to reveal itself.
An entirely black spider, with a red hourglass shape underneath.
The female spider has a bad habit of killing and eating the tiny male after mating. Hence the last name "widow".
The black widow spider is highly venomous. It has a nasty bite for sure. And in many cases medical help is needed.
It is a shy spider which tends to flee away when disturbed. So you should be safe as long as you watch out where you place your hands.
This exact Widow I carefully collected in a cup and relocated it. Away from our working spot
