Latrodectus mactans


Removed from her dark "parlor" for a brief walk in the sunshine and photo shoot. With venom 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake's the "degree of difficulty" for this maneuver is off the charts!

Ekkkkk...You have this at your house? I never liked spiders. I don't kill them if not poison and put them outside if I find them in my house. Great capture!! #10455699
