We usually have 3 or 4 around the house, but this is the only one that showed up this year.We normally have two of these by the front door but I have not seen them this year

Do you like the first or the second one better? The first was shot with flash. As much as I hate using flash,( actually I don't hate it, I'm just lazy to learn new stuff) flash is clearly better for shots like these.
Much more clarity in my opinion. I might have to hunker down and start using it a lot more.
@Blacktop i agree with you on the flash Pete, are you on the tripod there or hand held?
i also like the first one only because you are on the same side as the spider.

Bob i am confused, the pics look like a Brown widow to me, the link takes you to what we get as black widows down here in So Cal?
EDIT, ok after reading the link it says the males can have brown tan/legs, my bad, i must only be seeing the females.
