Hello. This black widow has moved in (so-to-speak) on some permanent field equipment I use. It now has an eggsack in it's web too. Does anyone know if it is ok to relocate the spider and the eggsack? Will the spider abandon the eggsack if this is done? Also, what is a good place to relocate these? There is not much out there except bushes. Thanks.

Should be no harm. Maybe fine some nice rock or rodent burrow for it to live in. As for the eggsac give it a try.

assuming they are found naturally in your area, caves, rocky out crops, timber pile, your porch..
