Is this a black widow?

Si.

Depends. What does it taste like?

Where there’s one, there’s millions. Sorry that you’ll have the burn your house down now

It was a deer stand and it will be tannerited I reckon. I wonder when I’ll know for sure if it bit me?

When you stop posting, we'll know it bit you

Black widows are solitary except during spring mating. If it's full grown size, it's likely alone. But you should still burn the forest to the ground just as a precaution


ETA: Well obviously you can't burn the forest down, you'll be dead in a few hours. But your family should burn it in your memory. After your eyeballs stop bleeding and you are no longer vomiting out your arse, I hear its a mostly peaceful way to go

Black widow bites ain't that bad. It's the brown recluse that's worse.

Do webs shoot out of your wrists?

"Black widows are solitary"


Well the ground blinds in south Texas will have several of those frickers inside each one of them.... we usually bring bug bombs and bomb all the blinds on the first day.


And a black widow bite can be really bad for some people. They actually have an antivenom if needed.

Latrodectus maclans
Latrodectus is found in most continents of the world though different species.
Look at the Australian Red Backed spider (Latrodectus hasselti). What you show has similar markings though I'm sure you have a maclans. You didn't take that pic in Australia did you?
