Spiders in the flowerbeds
Hi all
Today I found my second black widow spider. Found one last year, also. My front yard has about a 4 foot slope at the edge. About 4 years ago, we took out the grass, found some large rocks on the farm, and terraced using the stones, 2 per layer. Turned out great. Last spring when I was cleaning up and replacing mulch, I found a black spider with 3 red dots on it. Everyone said it was not a black widow. I looked it up and, sure enough, it is. Today I found another. Just behind the rocks and not into the dirt, but under the mulch. The book says they only bite to protect their young, or to kill their mate. I guess I can say that must be true, because I had that lady pinched between my fingers and the rock when I saw her. I hate to wear garden gloves, but maybe I am gonna have to get used to it! Yuck.
