I found this female a few days ago on a grill that had been covered for a long time, almost placing my hand on it--yikes! It is now living in a terrarium (outside) for a while so I can get some shots. Tonight I found it out in a good position, so was able to take a few--very carefully. I took about six, and made one movement too quickly, and it darted under a piece of bark.According to the BugGuide account, the incomplete hourglass indicates this is Latrodectus variolus, the Northern Black Widow. (A complete hourglass would indicate the Southern Black Widow, which also occurs in this area.)
I'd felt this girl's web in my garage for some time but she was always hiding. I finally spotted her one night, but she was very skittish and she'd run and hide at the slightest bump.She was in such a dark corner I had to light her with a flashlight so I'd have enough light to focus with and then I had to fire a strobe remotely because there wasn't enough room for the whole rig on-camera.Oh and one more thing... this is full frame.
