Black Widow (4)
Posted by David Sachs on October 4, 2006
Q: Hey John. I happened to walk by, and the male was hanging upside down. I finally got a nice picture of his belly. What do you think? Is this the classic hourglass I've heard so much about?

A: Boy, that sure does look like an hourglass! I think you're right - a Brown Recluse male! Thanks so much for pursuing this, I'm learning too. Would love to have a nice sharp image of this spider. If you're able to get a good shot, would you be willing to send so we can post? Will want to give you credit, date, and place of photo should be included. Again, thanks.
