Got this PSA from Mike and several others…
The Black Widow spider (Latrodectus variolus) is one of only a few poisonous spiders in the United States. It’s bite releases a neurotoxin into its victim that, if not treated, can lead to death.
After mating with a male, the female often sucks the life out of him (see spider cannibalism).
The female Black Widow is easily recognizable; she is black with a noticeably broad, bulbous backside and a bright red hourglass shaped marking on her underside.
Black Widows can be found in closets, wood piles, under beds, and soon,
The White House!
Coincidence? You decide.
