Fire 1, spider 0 That site had some good pictures. I had no idea there was so much variations in black widows (never seen one till two months ago), and had never even heard of brown widows till I moved out to CA. My apt complex has black widows out the wazoo, and my work site is covered with brown widows. Learning new stuff is fun!
