One fun thing about living in the country has to do
with all the wildlife. It's not for arachnophobes.
Latrodectus mactans AKA Southern Black Widow (female).

Well camouflaged, I almost didn't see it. It has an amazing colors pattern, almost comic style. This could be a superhero costume model. V

Uhm... I think I'll keep my distance!

WOW, hope it´s only have as big in reality. Good shot.

Johnny JAG		10-May-2012 12:27

Stephanie		10-May-2012 10:43
Awesome capture Scott!!!! And yes, very, very scary creature!

Yvonne		10-May-2012 10:29
Surely does look like one of our Redbacks..

Sheila		10-May-2012 09:01
Great shot, looks a lot like our redback spider.

shatterbug		10-May-2012 07:21
Wow, that looks like a black widow...not something I'd like to see at my front door!

I like the thru the web shot, excellent image. I'll take snakes before these.

Spidyman pays you a visit and gets stopped by security at the door. Good, he gives me the creeps! :O)

YIKES!

laine		09-May-2012 23:21
Out here we have Redback spiders, Latrodectus hasselti, the female is distinct and are almost too familiar to need description. I think your Black Widow is of the same family ( not certain of my facts here ) Cancer can kill, speeding on the roads can do the same...spiders will leave you alone if you leave them alone.... clearly I am not Arachnophobic :0)

Guest		09-May-2012 22:26
Do not know what spider that is,Scott, but get the distinct feeling that it bites!!

lou_rozensteins		09-May-2012 22:26
Looks like our deadly Redback! Be careful. Excellent details though.

Guest		09-May-2012 22:15
