I am in the middle of splitting a couple cords of wood and this was going for my juglar. So after intense thrashing about, which the kids in the neighborhood misinterpreted for fear, I finished wooding....HA! I often spring 4 feet in the air, feet a peddlin' like Fred Flintstone driving. Eddy, What'd ya call it? A Red Headed Girlfriend?

Thank God you did'nt get bit Dave. I had 1 land in the palm of my hand while loading hay once. Can relate to the Flintstones comment! Yabba dabba do...

Great. Now I'm going to have nightmares about spiders. I'm arachniphobic - just looking at a picture of a spider sets me off...

Yeah, glad you didn't get bit!

Ewwwwww....that is no good!!!

pfft! ... just a little itty bitty redback ... nothing to get all fidgety over ... certainly not old enough to be a widow

So is that the same as our Redbacks ?

If so there considered harmless, get some antivenom youll be right.

Serious glad your alright, now I'm tearing down teh shed, I'm finding a few spiders, just glad I had it pest sprayed on Monday, so if they make a B line for the house, they get a dose and die

wiki:
The female black widow has unusually large venom glands and its bite is particularly harmful to humans; however, Latrodectus bites rarely kill humans if proper medical treatment is provided.

The prevalence of sexual cannibalism in Latrodectus females has inspired the common name "black widow spider". The females frequently eat their male partners after mating. The female's venom is at least three times more potent than that of the males, making a male's self-defense bite ineffective. Research at the University of Hamburg in Germany suggests this ultimate sacrifice strategy has evolved to promote the survival odds of the offspring.[2
Black widows are very serious here and I'd guess there too.....
.......these ain't no fun either (the scorpion that bit my dog)...

Okay, please stop with the arachnids already. This is creeping me out.

hahaha, killed one spider today

Patrol Logging was the theme of today.


But sometimes watching enemies fight is so entertaining I had to take a minute....Black Widow-1 Scorpion-0
