Earlier this month, Lisa was fortuitous enough to run into a black widow and captured it to show the kids (very brave). I thought it would be a fun one to post for halloween today. While this one was taken with my macro lens (yes she had already passed on), I wasn’t THAT close. I cropped and sharpened so that the detail would come out.
Happy halloween!

I still think you were might BRAVE, Lisa! Interesting photo, Ry. Please don’t make this into a 14×10 and frame it for me for Christmas? Thanks.
How did you kill it w/o smashing it? Nice pic.
Well, after quickly trying to find rubbing alcohol to soak a cotton ball in and being unsuccessful, we used a few alcohol swabs. Sure did make her brittle.
