Brown Widow Spider 1 - Macro

[jamanjomama]

black widows probably adapted to their environment through natural selection

[dragonfire69]

Just found one in Orange City... scared my knickers off!!!

[MrUCF2004]

i just found one of these in Escondido, CA last week.

[CvJoey12]

One of these was in my male box, i had no clue what it was. 2 months later, there's 5 Black Widows outside my door

[stevenplol]

black widdow=CAMO UPGRADE!

[CreatureWars]

there everywhere in my backyard i live in riverside CA

[powerserg8]

i found one yesterday in my back yard. freaky. =P

[TheNativesamurai]

i killed one in my room

[dying101666]

I caught one and kept it for 7 weeks in a jar. Fed it roaches and other bugs I could find that I dont care for. Before I finally let it go It made 2 egg sacs and later on It spiderlings hatched from them. These are beautiful and sometimes interesting spiders to watch. They are extremely shy and much rather play dead than try to bite.

[ggustin7]

I captured her, and released her into the swamp. My hope is that she lives a good life for a bug. Theses spiders are very dangerous, but very innocent. They don't bite unless you are REALLY dumb, they can be VERY dangerous, as their venom is neurotoxic, but you have to be EXTREMELY unlucky or stupid to be bitten by one. They are extremely nice and docile, they even make great

[ggustin7]

I live in Orlando. I caught one in a bad spot (close to where the babies play) and was going to kill her, but when I captured her, she just balled up into a ball. I thought she was dead, so i picked her up. She didn't bite me, she just cowered. Then, she popped up into life in my hand, she still did bite me, she instantly attached a web to my hand and tried to escape. When she hit the ground, she knew I had her, so she formed into a ball again.

[nonplayerzealot4]

I saw one of these for the first time in my life yesterday, hanging under a window sill in my front yard. It had 7 (seven) egg sacs (spiky). I knew they existed and I've seen hundreds of black widows, but never a brownie.

[DavoBirmingham]

@nonplayerzealot4 Ewwwwwwwww.

[Dazed767]

They're all over central FL. Killed off 2 females this week, no spiky egg sacks yet thank god.

[CadetLD]

@Dazed767 No kidding, they have takn over my oak tree and the cars under it >.<

[theoneforu69]

My daughter found on last week. I wasn't sure if it was what I that is was! I soon found out that is was a brown widow and found a nest in my back porch. I found it today, three spikey egg sacks that I smushed and a large brown widow spider the smushed. I sprayed all the areas with Malation and hopefully that works!!!!!

[kennethgodden]

i collect spiders and i own 3 of these things and 4 black widows and i have had no problems and yes i have been bitten and it hurt like hell but i survived

[indigomaster1]

thumbs up if you are looking for the brown widow spider

[indigomaster1]

thumbs up if you are looking for the brown widow spider

[Jagnole101]

creepiest thing ever. 3 widow spiders outside the gym....2 brown, 1 black. I don't know who in their right mind would not get a chill after seeing that. I know for a fact I did! And I have pictures to prove what I saw.

[robotmonkey73]

at least 20 are around my house :/

they are much more social than black widows, and they come in a wide variety of colors. Most at my house are so dark that I though they were black widows at first, but the bands on the legs and the orange to yellow hourglasses gave it away.

[ilikeribs100]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Rocinante01]

my back yard is infested with these. i'm in the OC also.

[Adrian41800]

ok now this is a male brown widow

[artimals]

Awesome!! 5***** EXCELLENT CLOSE UPS!!

[mmmmmarcus]

widow spiders are really neat, and have alot of medical/industrial potential. Their silk is VERY strong. If you take the web, and twist it tight, it makes a superior quality string. Powerful, yet elastic. I use it to thread live bait on hooks without having to pierce it. Its great for putting mussels on the hook =D They [military] even designed bodyarmor after widow spider silk, because it's so damn strong!

[GreenWaterUtah]

I just found 1 of these beautiful girls in a sprinkler box at one of my customers homes about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City Utah

[snnflwr]

fuck spiders kill them all

[TheHaroHero]

Lol he was omnomnommin on his leg

[AFreakinProblem]

More deadly than a black widow. So that means there are THREE types of spiders to look out for in the US.

[mmmmmarcus]

@AFreakinProblem The common misconception is they are deadly. Thats not true. These are actually the LEAST dangerous of the widows, since they rarely inject venom in defense.

[WhatOneProductions]

I dont know the right word for it but you have to find the "queen" "Mother" i got lucky and when i found the eggs i sprayed them without seeing her and the next day i came back and she was just hanging there dead O.o SHE WAS HUUUUUGE!!! since then i havint seen one but im sure they will be back and ill be ready!! haha but ya you have to find her and take her out or else they will just keep comin back..

[BoxOfMoons]

One thing I can't stand captured by another thing I can't stand even more. God damn.

[greatsea]

I fed a brown widow every day for about 2 weeks at work. Those buggers are everywhere in South Louisiana now. There are a hand full of them webbed out in front of coffee shop I frequent.

[rashad5010]

i saw one of these.the one i saw did'nt have stripes on the legs

[WhatOneProductions]

I killed over 26 at my house 2 inside i finally found the main btch in my backyard with 3 eggs and killer her and sprayed down the eggs with poison she is still hanging there for a message to any other brown widow...Ever since i havnt seen any around my house atleast...They mate 3 times as much and a black widow and are able to carry 35+ babies instead of the balck widoe only bring albe to carry 25 i believe so ya F them lol

[thebleedingjeans]

I live in Mobile, Alabama. We have tons of these around my house. I spray them with Raid or whatever. Each time it rains, which is often, they come right back.

[ROMANEMPIRE69]

A whole empire of these critters conquered the bmw in the front of my house.

[futureBLU]

I just killed one of these on my balcony in Santa Monica! I hope there's not more, but... $#$%@!

[niloc141414]

i found about 20-25 of these in my backyard. way too many.

[tunndidy]

i kill about 30-40 of these every two weeks with a propane torch in my front yard in Garden Grove California. they dont seem to be as agressive as the black widows we have in the front as well

[ninjaturtlebirdz]

i live in florida and i found two of these and just one little spider that looked freshy hatched in my kitchen... where the hell are the rest?!

[lindaterbush]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you said brown RECLUSE. My sister was bit on the finger by one of the first brown recluse spiders to arrive in Orange co. CA. back in 1977. They wanted to amputate...my Italian mother said NO, my sister still has her finger. What's yor story? Hey stay away from wherever you are getting bit!

[lindaterbush]

My God, where do you live? And are you speaking of the "false widow spider"? Why do you keep getting bit? Anyway, thanks for the responce. I am afraid of almost nothing except those nasty predators that can and will get on you and bite and then disappear...almost lost my dad, (who was a professional boxer at the top of his game, Age 25) to a black widow bite. Almost lost a husband to a black widow and almost lost my cat to a black widow bite... I'm not paranoid...just wary.

[lindaterbush]

I thought it was an extra large male. The Orange County REGISTER had an article about the brown widow so now I know that's what we have. Pretty spooky...they're killing off the black widows. I hope we don't get any Austrailian Redbacks!

[ShyRobot]

Hey, I live in the OC, and i just found one of these motherfuckers in my garage.

[lindaterbush]

Sorry to know that. Be very aware of the egg-nests. They carry about 80 itty-bitty spiders. They are fairly large, off white and spiney unlike the black widow egg sac which is larger, whitish and smooth. BURN THEM.

[shadowhunter388]

@ShyRobot Yeah go orange country haha :D, Yeah I haven't seen any of these bitches yet but I have seen something similar that is always outside my house.

[mrlemmon]

@ShyRobot They can be anywhere.Even the Red Widow.

[ShyRobot]

@mrlemmon I know, but these things are were new to California about a year ago.

[lindaterbush]

I live in Orange, CA since May,2009 I have killed 6 brown widows and a couple of surviving males in my back yard. It's interesting because I am an arachniphobe and tend to hone in when any spider is in my territory...THEY also sense me and,(especially jumping spiders) hone in on me. Anyway I am very aware as to what a black widow web looks like. We used to have black widows but they are all gone. When I first saw the "widow web" and the color was'nt right I thought the spider was an extr

[CAGEmustDIE]

i found a spider in my friends garage that is light brown like this with a black hourglass on it's belly...i know it's not a brown recluse because it doesn't have the violin type mark on its back. could it be a brown widow? oh and i live in central jersey.

[hondarider100r]

You have one badass camera

[bybuttscppickel]

male black window?

[saburbanlover]

male black widows are clear, this is a brown widow, a whole other species

[lindaterbush]

A male black widow is really tiny and not black. They are green with black markings and generally don't get away after mating.

[lindaterbush]

Don't get wierd about a male black"widow" they just don't have a name for it and generally they don't survive after mating. Hence...WIDOW!

[BLACKSHEEPc10]

yea just found out they are here in south texas , since i have killed 20 in my yeard in a month period.

[lindaterbush]

SPRAY!!!

[simpsongzr]

I just found one these in my back yard a few months ago.Didn't have a clue there was a such thing as a brown widow.Same shape and size.Even the same erratic web design.

[lindaterbush]

If you found one there are others...don't allow them to breed or get in the way of your pets...or YOU for that matter.

[tomestubbs]

@simpsongzr They are cobweb weavers, so is the brown Recluse.

[kusitof]

Terrible!!

5*****!!

[belfastnature]

Excellent video,

class lens.

500000***** easy
