Black Widow

Latrodectus mactans

Spotting Image 1

Description:

Black Widow Latrodectus

Habitat:

Found inside an electronic gate opener.

Notes:

Beautiful Black Widow that I found inside an electronic fence opener at work. She had many bug corpses on the floor, meaning she is a very successful hunter inside the enclosure.
