For some reason their population exploded this year here. I love their patterns when their young! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7000553

I haven't seen any black widows yet but there have been multiple browns. This guy was right at the front door, seriously hope they don't plan on moving in.

Hi Steven, I've only seen a few black widows on our property in Escondido but there are a lot of brown widows. How is it in Imperial Beach?
