I'm not a big fan of "spiders and snakes" (Jim Stafford, 1973, peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart), but my partner is. He's taught me to look before I stick my ungloved hand in brush, in sink cabinets, anything in the garage, etc.

Recently I was showing a vacant foreclosure to a couple where the only furnishing was a custom-built trash can on the rear patio. As we walked by it I just casually looked in since it was quite a nice trash can. It was empty, except for this little gal, Betty Black, and her visitor, Sam Snell. Since I always carry my camera with me, I set it for close-up and took her picture. She was very photogenic, but she's so big that I think she must be pregnant. Hmmmmmm. Like some other little gal in the news lately. LOL

Jim,

I hate spiders, give me snakes, lions, armed gangsters but keep those spiders away.

Take care!

I'm cool with snakes.  Not sure about lions or gangsters.  If I see a spider outside then I give him a free pass.  But if theres a spider in my house its gotta die.  vizionkc.com

I ditto all the comments above. That is a Big ugly spider for sure. I live in the rural desert in AZ and I hate all the scorpions, snakes and stuff we have here.

Definitely looks like she's with child.  What a site that would be there to be there when those puppies are hatched.  YUCK!  I appreciated the little political humor stuffed in there :0.

I was stuck in a class all week and one of the most interesting things I learned was that in Seattle there are no poisonous spiders OR snakes.

Hey, Janna.

I don't know what kind of a class you were in, but that class needs a new teacher for spreading such dangerously false information like that.

I know the hobo spider, one of the most dangerous spiders in the nation, is doing quite well there in Seattle. In fact, it came from Europe around 1930, arriving right there in the Port of Seattle, and from there, well, it's now in all the lower 48 states as well as Canada and Alaska.

Best wishes, and be careful. I'm sure my Partner could find many more examples of poisonous spiders and snakes there in Seattle.
