Years ago I had a snake in my garage in Red Bluff I was trying to encourage it to leave and it slithered into a black widow web and the spider killed it!
I'm not a fan of Creepy Crawlies.

Now I'm afraid to go outside. Or be inside.

We have Katipo spiders in the dunes nearby.
We also get Redbacks.
And they can interbreed, producing a more deadly hybrid
These are the same genus, Latrodectus, of which there are over 30 species worldwide including the black widow - all poisonous. (The name 'Katipo' means 'night stinger' in Maori).

Our widows have the mark on the other side.. no, this is not a hemisphere joke.
Those Katipo spiders are actually sort of beautiful.

I was with my brother in Australia a month ago and he'd just towed back a 1953 Landrover 1300 miles to restore and the next day we saw a few webs....Red Backs
we'd brought home a few passengers A couple of doses of some lethal insecticide got rid of them. I don't like killing things but at some point self preservation takes the upper hand.

Meh. Everything is better without venom delivery systems in a phalanx around your trip to ice cream.
If dangerous spiders wanted to live.. they should have noticed things changing around them as they evolved. I think we have enough in museums for future people to appreciate. Get the napalm.

But do you have giant mosquitos like we do in Minnesota?

Re: Misery loves company
Aren't the MN mosquitoes required to have their own N numbers?
