Black Widow Spider

Picture of the famous black widow spider. This black widow spider has a red and white striped on the back. This photo was taken a few years ago. This year I have found 5 black widow females in my front yard this year. The black widows I found this year have been around 1/2 inch to 1 inch long. I have never had a spider bite me and I hope the black widow spiders do not make it into my house.

White and Brown Western Widow Spider
