Icon134 0 #26 December 28, 2008 Quote Maybe the spider came with the tree? I have seen tiny wolf spiders jump off the back of the momma spider I was stepping on. Unrelated, here is a St Andrews Cross that hung out on my porch for a few weeks.I'm sure the spider came inside with the tree. But the tree came in from my parents back yard... Like I said I'm not denying the posibility...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiquita24 0 #27 December 28, 2008 It gave me the heebie jeebies just looking at those photos..... Sounds like many of you know your spiders, but I don't so I googled it. Here's a link I found interesting http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html#blackwidow I'm thankful I don't have anything like that around where I live.....at least not that I know of.

Conundrum 1 #28 December 29, 2008 Quote Quote Quote The quality isn't as nice as Icon134's, but since we've got bug-lover's here, maybe you'll enjoy them. 1) Another spider. Look at those hairy legs! Wow... that there is a black widow!!! Not sure about that. The web looks like a widow, but, Ive never seen a widow have hairy legs like that. Might be a different type? Hell, I never heard of Brown widows till a few months ago. I don't know what type of spider it is but I do know that it is not a black widow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That very well may be (and is in fact likely)... it is probable that the spider looks "similar" to a black widow to help fend off predators... I say similar because my first reaction is to assume that what I'm seeing there is a black widow even though it actually isn't...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...
