Sorry got the late reply. This is the same little beauty from my other post. Found her in Frisco, Texas.

We used to find a fair number of black widow spiders (like hiding under sinks in the back of cupboards) in Eugene, Oregon, but I've heard from someone who lived there before that Bend, Oregon was particularly 'blessed' with them.

Could you add the location to the map? Thanks. I was bitten by a black widow .... it was very painful for a long time but not fatal (obviously)

Mark is that the same spider you let go on the first pics? Just curious. I never met one yet in my life. I bet I need to go and visit them in the US!
