Ominous looking critter. Check your boots in the morning.

Not sure how to keep them out of structures, beyond sealing the heck out of things and maybe encouraging fire ants to move in...

I mentioned this before. The black widow is a common spider here in Maryland. It is rarely seen because it IS reclusive, just like Loxocelles. The L.r. is from E. Texas. Incedence of bites low,even if on the rise. The ones that make the news are usually displaced by man.Those wheel bugs are common in fall, but rarely do you hear of a bite. And they are nasty. Clearly shot, ID jumps right out.

I have heard that you can buy a sort of smoke bomb to sort the problem out but it would kill all spiders etc. and I expect you would not like that. Nice shots.

No, silly, I just don't want you to be caught by one of those dangerous spiders and stop posting great pics
Your images are my inspiration, so I am being entirely selfish ha ha.Dec 31, 2018 11:27:03 #
Good shots of a critter that has quite nasty flesh decaying venom. We have them around us here too.

Hey, if you get bitten, will you post shots? All in the interest of science and photography, of course.😀
On second thought, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.🤔
Do you see webs? They are a ragtag jumble, similar to the Theridids I understand.
Ridding your shed would not work(except for a short time) because nature abhors a vaccuum.
A few old aquariums and some close fitting screen tops would provide you with ready subjects. If kept in the shed, escapees no problem, and as I don't think your wife enters often, no problems there. I owe a lot to my 'bug zoos' for insights into insect behavior. Kept my sons (two) occupied, too, when they were young. They are both now near 50. They still talk about it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, AND MANY MORE!!!
