...there I was enjoying a tall glass of crushed ice with lemonade....when right next to me my cousin let out a piercing scream leaving me deaf in my right ear...lol...she frantically pointed down to the steps below us and just kept screaming...I didn’t see anything...what was this crazy person screaming about?....Finally she was able to tell me in short gasps....

”A-a-a spiderrr!!”

...I looked again and sure enough, there she was a big beautiful Black Widow! Now I’m okay with spiders, itz the crickets I can do with out...plus spiders eat crickets so i'm all for them....lol...

...I looked back up to my cousin, saw the horror in her eyez and I instantly knew I just had to tell her about the Black Widow and just how cool they really are....lol....so on I went with my tales bout our eight legged friends....

...As soon as someone sees a spider therez lotz of screaming, screeching, hollering, and running away. A woman will swat the spider with whateverz handy, wipe the mess up and toss it in the garbage. Itz a human obsession not shared by spiders. Spiders don’t bother humans unless the human bothers them. After all, they can only eat so much human before it rots.

...The Black Widow will lay about a thousand eggs in a year, most of them eaten by other spiders. Therez no real solidarity or scruples among spiders. Itz every spider for itself. Seems a little bit cannibalistic but there you have it. Black Widows also eat their own young. The young Black Widow learns very early not to sass mommy. The young Black widow never sasses mommy twice. Thatz a fact...lol...

...The Black Widow spins a very strong web. Then she hides in the corner waiting for an insect to get stuck. Then she covers it with some kind of goop and lets it marinate for a while before eating it. One of the fun things in life is too filch the round piece of goop and annoy the spider. The advice here is to be quick and then stay well clear of the area for a long time. The Black Widow has a good memory and no sense of forgiveness.

...The Black Widow has a very sinister reputation. Sure, if u disturb one by, say, looking at it, the Black Widow gets offended and bites. It is venomous and, in some cases, can be deadly itz venom is 15 times more potent than that of the rattlesnake....good thing Black Widows are not very large!

...In fact, therez one case where itz always deadly if shez from the L. Mactan family of Black Widows. Sex. As soon as the male is done, and before he can light up that cigarette, the Widow kills and eats him. That something very few human females do. It also shows that a male Black Widow is as smart as dirt. Thatz something human females agree on with Black Widows, sometimes...lol...

...The Black Widow has an hourglass figure women would kill for. That may be the attraction that the male has for the female. Itz the real fatal attraction if there ever was one. Itz a true one-night stand for the male. He doesn’t even get a chance to go to the bar and brag. He just becomes natural fertilizer...lol...

...Alright so u hire an exterminator to get rid of the pests, especially the savage Black Widow. U pay anywhere from 75-300 dollars for this guy to spray what he says is a long-lasting pest control. After a couple of days u look around and see a lot of dead insects. U might see a couple of dead birds too. They weren’t bothering u but they’re still dead. Is that a dead squirrel? Yes. Well, too bad...lol...

...What u don’t see is a dead Black Widow. Isn’t that a nice feeling?...lol...

...Needless to say my cousin is still afraid of spiders, but now especially of Black Widows...lol...ooops...lol...

Hugz everybody!
