Spider with prey
Yeah, but I think this is the same Black Widow as the other Black Widow I photographed because I found both in the same habitat (under a brick).
Oh, I just noticed that the image is from March. We may not get her identified. :-(
Yes, this is a juvenile female, but to determine its identity, I would need to see the hourglass shape on the underside of the abdomen. A solid red shape means it's southern (Latrodectus mactans), and a divided hourglass shape means it's northern (Latrodectus variolus). We have both in Oklahoma. Hopefully you still have access to this spider and can determine her ID. :-)
