Not sure if anyone's posted this yet, but I found the story to be a little funny, and wanted to share it with other spider people!

*sigh* So... I'm assuming there were 2 black widows and it sent everyone into hysterics

I read 12... it happens all the time.. I used to work at a grocery when i was a teen... and we would get the odd widow with the grape shipment form time to time.... and yes they did come from California... I would catch them , and would keep them around at work, until my co worker told on me (understandable! not too wise of a decision for me to be keeping venomous animals at work) ...ppl are always freaked out because of the way the have been portrayed all this time them being the deadliest Spider.... I rather be bitten by a widow than a recluse...... sorry for my rant.... just my two cent's...

Peace,
Armando

I agree, I'd rather get tagged by a widow than a recluse!
