This thread is amazing.

Many people don't know that black widows are found basically everywhere in North America. For some reason I guess people always assume it's 'Somewhere else. Exotic?'

I found one outside a few years back. It met the hose.

Well, if anyone cares, I went to sleep for about 7 hours now and I'm still alive

I'm heading out today, but when I get back I'm gonna do a thorough cleaning/searching of my house. I haven't noticed any egg sacks around when I was killing those spiders, but I doubt I'd find them since if there was one it would've hatched a while ago since those three were fully grown. The main thing I was freaked out about was how quickly they came. I was home all day yesterday and didn't notice anything at all in those areas, but after going to play altitude for an hour I come back and notice them making new webs (I'm pretty sure they were new since the webs seemed invisible and were only composed of a few threads)

No sight of any black widows though, I searched pretty hard as soon as I woke up. Maybe my plan of sticking one of the spiders on a tooth pick and planting it outside in my backyard worked

dude a few years ago I lived in this shitty trailer/house thing, shared it with a buddy. and spiders were fucking everywhere in it. scared the crap out of me regularly.

one time I got up in the morning, went to take a shower, grabbed my luffa thing and started cleaning myself.... and it feels weird and i look down, and there is a gigantic spider in it that im rubbing against my bare chest. freaked me out SO BAD.

luckily it was dead, all bloated and gross from the water. but still it was scary wtf was it doing in there.

at least you'd already be on the toilet if it scared the shit out of you

Isn't this like an afghani spider? Spiders and other bugs creep me out in general but never scare me much. More like just grab ur foot or anything in reach to kill the damn bug is easy for me. Reading this blog through the 5 pages made me get goosebumps like 10x. I haven't seen any black widow around in North Texas(which im not doubting there isnt) but brown recluses are more notorious here.

I hope I never get bitten by a black widow because I'm reminded of this video. It's possibly NSFW, I don't know, since the result of his bite is fairly disgusting.

I just read this in fmylife.com and I couldn't remember where I read about black widows until I saw this thread again.

"Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as i'm taking off my undies something crushed and black falls out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML"
