Thank you Lynette

I pretty much destroyed its web by walking into. Just had to capture.
Just released. Its been interesting observing feeding of the Brown widow I posted a few days ago. Hmm, release where?

If it were me

I'd release it somewhere close to the house so I could watch it. Near an outside evening light might be good. But I suppose the best place would be back where you collected it.

Mailbox

Your mailbox is very popular! Is there a light next to it?

No,

but there is a bright light from the I75/Bee Ridge exchange. And then there is the neighbor's forever ongoing motion detector spotlight. It points straight at the mailbox. She's definitely not going back there.
I jumped around like a little girl the first time on it was on my hand. The fear of spiders hasn't diminsh.
