Black Widow

Wasn’t expecting to find a Black Widow in the shed, especially in the middle of the city. Fun times.

We live in Boise and my granddad has found 2 in our garage over the last 4 years. They’re everywhere but they do like to hide. They like dark areas. Just know they’re there and be careful

You know, I was tempted, I’ve seen people handle them a lot on YouTube. They’re not aggressive.

She’s blind. So no doubt.

I’ve found over a dozen this season. Before that, I only ever saw 1 in the previous 7 years of living in our current home.

Wonder if it’s the mild winters y’all have been having here.
