Calamity Jane - Latrodectus mactans Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA May 20, 2007 Size: 5/8"
Black Widow.
Was on the underside of the pool ladder. The ladder had been sitting on the ground until I could get the pool open this weekend. I lifted the ladder and there were some leaves on it and I was clearing those off. I think there were two under there because just before I saw this one I thought sure I saw another one and knocked it off with the leaves. I might be mistaken but I wouldn't think that two would be in such close proximity but there are two egg sacks so I don't know.
