01/11/2007 | A couple of summers ago, I went to my backyard to kick back and catch up on some reading. but before I did, I walked into my garage to get a chair. I felt something on my neck, I just brushed it and scratched it, I didn't really give it a thought. Then I sat down and started reading, and again I felt something tickling my neck, I brushed it quickly, but I still didn't see anything, then, a couple of minutes later, I saw movement coming from shirt pocket, I looked down and it was the biggest Black Widow I've ever seen, crawling from my pocket. It must have fell in there when I brushed my hand on my neck. You don't know what panic is until you have a Black Widow crawling on you. I don't mind telling you, it scared the crap out of me. Needless to say, I killed it immediately.

01/11/2007 | In the early 1970's I was planting spring flower bulbs in a raised bed up against the house, and I found one of these spiders. I studied her for quite some time and found nothing too frightening. She definitely had the red hourglass on her abdomen.
She just hung around the web waiting for a hapless insect to wander into it!
I have closely studied nature, and that was the only one I ever saw.
