I recognised the familiar tangle of widow spider web on my trash can handle, but was surprised when I saw the unfamiliar, spiked egg sacks. I sprayed the entire mess, and was further surprised when a brown spider with an orange hourglass on the abdomen emerged. Some internet investigation confirmed that the spiked egg sacks were those of the brown widow spider. Southern California is loaded with black widow spiders, but the brown is apparently a recent import. ICK!!! One more poisonous pest to watch for around the house. </p>calicougarSun, 26 Jul 2009 16:09:08 -0000
