Black Widow

Black Widow — "You should've known better than to mess with me, honey...black widow, baby!" Why not start off this creepy Halloween week with a creature Iggy Azalea would be proud of: Latrodectus variolus, a.k.a. the northern black widow spider. This particular spider was found in Beltsville, MD and is typically found in the Mid-Atlantic states. Photo credit: USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab
