...and the black widow webs are so strong that you can actually hear a ripping sound, like fine silk cloth strands being torn.

I've never had this happen, but now I'm gonna be freaking out every time I drive anywhere cuz I'll see "motion" out of the corner of my eye, and think they're attacking me. I hate spiders!!!

This is an awesome thread tho

As soon as I read about the Black Widow i just knew it had to be a Californian. I have lived in GA, VA, TX, NY, & Mississippi & have never seen as many Black widows as I have here (in L.A.) Just last week I saw one in my garage. I have seen and dispatched the smackdown to at least 4 since I moved into my house 1.5 yrs ago. Gadzooks...

I'm just curious at to what it is that people fear about spiders. Mine, some are poisonous. But besides that, no particular reason, just hate them
