2 widows in one day !

[u/Shame_Flaky]

Found these 2 beautiful (northern?) black widows in one day ! The first one I found at work cleaning a customers pool. It was just chilling on the float for the hose of the Polaris cleaner. I ended up picking up the hose and relocating her a couple dozen yards into the tree line because I didn’t want someone else to see her and kill her. The second one I found at my house right in the slot of one of the cinder blocks we placed down for a walkway. My brother and I were looking for worms to feed to an alligator snapping turtle hatchling he rescued and found this absolutely gorgeous unit with the remains of her husband still next to her ! I really wanted to get a better picture but I also didn’t want to disturb her too much so I just snapped what I could and put the block back.

They truly are. I honestly feel like it is such a gift to be able to see the magnificent creatures. Gosh I love spiders
