Remember that song from when you were little?
This spider who’s been hanging out in my garage isn’t so itsy bitsy although the photo does make her look larger than she is.
Yes, a black widow. She has spun her web near the floor by the garage door. My husband wants her gone: “What if she jumps out at us?” Okay, sweetie, there, there. They don’t do that. Yes, they’re extremely venomous, but they’ll leave you alone if you leave them alone.
I’ve removed her egg sac since I don’t want a bunch of baby black widow spiders running around, potentially getting into the house where the cats will try to play with and eat them. But Mabel (yeah, I named her), can stay for another few days. I’ll relocate her across the street in a wooded ravine after I’m tired of tormenting my husband. You should see him when there’s a snake!
