I'm taking my 3.2 off the engine stand and lowering down onto a floor jack. I notice a spider crawling on top of the muffler. I hit it with some bug spray then fish it out with a screwdriver and put it on my workbench. Sure enough, when I put on the bench I see a perfectly shaped red hourglass on the belly. This is the first Black Widow I have seen since I have lived in Chicago (almost 20 years), and it had to be crawling on my engine. Needless to say, I would rather see a mouse.

I hope she was single, no kids!

After I read your post the first thing I did was look to see where you where, I'm shocked. I've been aware that Black Widows are present in all 48 states and lower Canada, but I've personally never seen one. The Brown Recluse isn't too far away either.


Oh by the way, she may have been single but she was someones kid.
