Black widows are nocturnal. Only the female black widow bites humans, and she bites only when disturbed.Apparently a female had taken residence on our hot tub patio and was 'disturbed' by Husband. She has since been evicted...permanently. He had a very uncomfortable local reaction, but nothing too serious.
How rude! Glad it's not too serious :)
ReplyDeleteEww! How scary! I don't think we have those here--not usually anyway!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Glad it's not serious!
ReplyDeleteOuch!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm glad all was well
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh my. That nasty little thing. I'm glad it was nothing too serious.
ReplyDeleteYUCK... to spiders in general. Glad to hear hubby's okay!
ReplyDeleteYuck! I hate spiders!
ReplyDeletein general, i welcome spiders as they take care of other nasty insects. i didn't know that there were black widows in our area...and never thought any might be living on our property...until Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteWe probably have a dozen black widows living around our property at any one time. They keep the crickets and scorpions at bay. We do spray for them but they come back very fast.
ReplyDeleteI have never known anyone to get a bite by a black widow even living here all these years. I am glad DH is ok! How scary!
Ugh, I don't like spiders. Although we just watched Charlotte's Web last weekend, which was a cute movie.
