We have been visiting with a creepy and disgusting guest this morning!
Getting to know about her, this is what we've discovered:
*she's a beautiful color black
*she's a beautiful color black
*she's got a very distinct red hour-glass shaped tattoo on her belly
*she's a carnivore
*her table manners are revolting!
*she's an artist
*she's considered to be the most venomous species in all of North America
*her latin name is Latrodectus hesperus
*her venom is 15 TIMES stronger than a rattlesnake bite
*if she bites (usually out of self defense) it can be fatal to my young children
*I'm absolutely, postively terrified of her!
Yes, she's a.....
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
I never considered myself afraid of spiders, certainly because they're common enough. But, Ryan had only seen one of them and this is the first time I've seen one. It was on the house right by the front door and I just happened to glance at it and called Ryan's attention to it. He caught it and showed Dawson, and then I put covered the glass with tape so she can't escape. Ryan was so cute, he explained to Dawson what to look for and how dangerous the spider can be.
You know when you have a tickle on your leg and you jump three feet in the air because of it since you're so paranoid now? That's how I'm acting! I can't stop shuddering, it's just too creepy. Ewwwwwwww! Arachnids!
As soon as Ryanna sees the spider and learn of it's capabilities and what it looks like, Mrs. Black Widow is getting a First Class trip down the Porcelain Waterslide! Bon Voyage.

How scary! That thing is a beast of a spider! My little girls were in the room when the song came on and we all started dancing and doing the motions to the song! I love that you change your song every time to fit your blog! So fun!
Yikes! Thanks for the reminder to go buy some spider traps!

Call me....I've got a question for ya:)
FREAKY! I hate spiders. Especially biting, poisonous ones.
Cute music! Creepy post!! I'm sorry but now I've got the itchies all over. (But, wow, your camera takes AWESOME closeups!!) Be sure to keep my grandbabies away from that ugly Black Widow!! wuhhhhh! (That's me shuddering!!)
Take that picture down! Ew, ew, ew. I am beyond terrified of spiders...you are such a nice mom to let her stay for some biology lessons.
Eeeeeew! Scary! I know there's tons of those down here, but I have yet to see one. I know I"m going to totally freak out when I finally come face to face with one. So creepy! It just seems so wrong that a little spider can kill a person!
The only time we have ever seen black widow was at the woodland park zoo in seattle. Remind me never to come over to your house again.:)
SICK! I got the creeps just looking at that nasty big spider. Hope you don't have anymore visitors like that anytime soon.
That totally creeps me out just looking at the picture of that thing. How disgusting
Yuck! Those pictures looked like the ones you'd only see in magizines or something because of how close it was. That's amazing! Gross...but amazing!
