Brown Widow Eggs



I was talking to Sam the other day and we were discussing spiders. We have some that are newer to our area, Brown Widows, and these are the eggs. They're a little more poisonous that Black Widows and their eggs are covered with little bumps, like polka dots. They like to put eggs under the lip of the trash cans and in the little ridges under plastic chairs and I thought Sam might like to see these. Grandpa wanted me to hurry up and take these pictures so he could squash them.

Oh no! Another spider for me to be nervous about, and this kind likes plastic chairs! Tell me it never will ever be under the toilt seat...

Hi Lu,
Well, we do check our chairs pretty carefully before sitting down! And I think they're more of a garden spider than a "toilet seat" spider, thank goodness! Yikes!
