I thought they all had red hourglass on them. I learned something. Spiders are fascinating.

Oh, we have the big mammas as well... there are a handful of Black Widow species - Northern, Western, Southern... with a couple dozen other off shoots. A lot have the hourglass, but not all and it can present different at different ages etc. They are super fascinating. Fortunately, from what I have read they have a better temperament then the fiddlebacks we celebrate here!
This one was from a few years back about 15 feet away from the little one I posted above.

Yeah, we haven't had problems yet... but the scary thing is my kids were playing hide and seek and found the smaller one where they were going to hide... we spray around the house and wood pile a couple times a year.
We spray around the exterior couple times a year to keep bugs out. Since we started doing that we havent found a spider of any kind in the house. Wife is terrified of them. We first started spraying because we would find palmetto bugs in the house and I'll admit I'm terrified of those. Like a giant roach. I will hop up on the counter and make the wife get it. Heart starts beating fast and all. Nothing else does that just roach looking bugs. Spiders, snakes and whatnot don't bother me at all.
Sitting at my gate at Raleigh airport. Wife and I are flying to Philadelphia to visit our oldest and her husband. Wife is staying for a week and I’m flying back Monday. She is working for Chick fila Inc on her way to have her own store. They are sent to a location that needs help and then move on. We will try to visit them wherever they go. They were in Dallas but not long enough.
