My buddy found this behind his grill yesterday!!!

black widow.jpg

Kinda hard to tell, since I had to size it down, but it's a big a$$ed Black Widow!!

Spiders themselves don't really scare me, but if they are bigger than a quarter, look out!

I hear ya, but my G-pa got bit by one years ago before I was born, it almost killed him. Crawled in his bed! If it's in front of you and you see it, yeah, smash the hell out of it, but still, that's a big MF-er!

we have wolf spiders down here that make that look small--no joke, we saw one that was bigger than a dessert plate. joker was huuuuge. but yeah, it's the ones you don't see....
then there's the brown recluse.
that's what cracked me up when i watched the movie arachnaphobia, when john goodman smashed the one with his foot.

Ok, so I'm staying up North with the bears. Big enough to see and no plans to stomp on one.

well, you certainly don't have to worry about a bear hiding in a shoe, or under the covers of your bed!

Black widows are all over the place down here... I got used to seeing them in the barn and very lucky I didn't get nailed by one.

I've seen these at the barn a few times too:
