So what are the dangers of black widows? when I was growing up my mother would tell me to stay away from them, here in San Diego Fallbrook I run into them in the back yard. I feel bad but I end up crushing them with my Doc Martens.

If you can, bring them away from your house...if they are not in their web, they have a hard time walking...they will never attack! They always try to get away from you. The poison works slowly and it is very painful, but you have 24 hours to get a shot. Healthy adults will have no problems...they are only active at night time!

Thank you very much! I have to say, the Brown Recluse bite is very, very dangerous...the spider looks pretty nice, I have to say...with that little brown fiddle on the carapax...I know I am strange

like in real life, if you are young and fast, you get away...when you get old, they get you!!!! ...but in spider life the males only live for about 6 months, some less...females up to 3 or some 4 years...some tarantulas live 30 years and longer!!! How about that

Great collection. My only real fear is of spiders. But the pics are fantastic. I much prefer reptiles and amphibians, much more my speed.

I currently have a B. smithi juvenile, a P. regalis sling and 15 red color phase OBT P. murinus slings. I also have two scorpions. I have an A. australis and an Asian Forest Scorpion.

Very fine photo work. I would disagree with you though regarding that you think watches are more difficult to Phototgraph. surely the spider moving and the shallow depth of field in macro mode makes spider photography very difficult. But you do it amazingly. 10/10 top of the class.
