Morning all normal folks.
Evening Jeff.
We have had a few black widows around the house. One on the front porch and two in the garage. The garage ones were using my jack stands as a home base. I started picking up the jack stands with gloves and spraying them with bug spray. I have not see any in a while but of course I don't use jack stands much anymore.
We have some large brown spiders in the back yard right now. They are the size of a quarter with fairly short legs. They build a fairly large web and they seem to catch a lot of bugs. Teere is some sort of spider eating predator out there as well. The spider only lasts a couple of days and then they are gone. A smaller spider will show up a week later, and after a few days it vanishes. I think it is the skinks or lizards that is eating them. I see a lot of skinks in our yard.
If the spiders were in Oz I would be more freaked because they would be some killer that drops you in a few hours. The spiders in my back yard are harmless except to flying bugs.
