If I was a guy spider, I'm not sure I'd want to get involved with a black widow geep..
Most probably haven't noticed it, but the actual spider is also a widow (birds of a feather and all). Note the red hour glass on its abdomem.
So we have a widow courting a widow. Now if Proposition 8 passes here in CA and repeals the rights of gays to marry, scenes like this may disappear.

That reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask the co-operative extension people. When I was growing up, and even as recently as 15 years ago, you used to seen those big black and yellow "garden" spiders all over the place. But I haven't seen a single one in at least 5 years...where did they all go?
We also used to get these and you are right that I haven't seen any in years.

Toddalin, that is one weird looking black widow. Sure it's a widow?
Strange one would make its nest so out in the open too. Was the loco stored someplace quiet and dark for a while?
Eeek

Loco was parked there a matter of moments when the spider started the web. The spider was probably "hitchin' a ride" from within the tunnel.
