All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

[OC] A little jumping spider.

I remember when I was trying to take this photo the spider jumped on the lens and I might have screamed.

But why black widows? They are super useful at pest control and like all spiders just leave them be and they want nothing to do with you.

They're only included because they sometimes live in spaces I'm having to blindly stick my arm in. And we just don't have the kind of trust. I probably just need to get some elbow length gloves for when I feel their webs (it feels different than other spider webs).

Ugh I've never encountered a black widow, but I just felt that sentence.
