Black Widow 1 - Latrodectus mactans Cass County, Texas, USA April 30, 2008 Size: 1/2 inch
Not sure if this is a male or a female. I suspect that what appears (at first glance) to be very bulbous bulging eyes are actually pedipalps and therefore it is a male but I do not known if males have the red hourglass shape on the bottom. Any help is appreciated..
