And they are not as poisonous as people say. When I lived in Phoenix, I learned that. A guy went to get a piece of firewood and stuck his hand into a "nest" of them. There were roughly 10-20 that bit him. He died from cardiac arrest.
Now the Brown Recluse..... those are scary fuckers, one bite and adios.
There is a spider here in Ohio now that when it bites you, the skin around the bite like dissolves..... that's some extremely scary shit.
BTW GREAT pics.
