If anyone wants to play with black widows, visit our area. When we first
moved in, there was an old "Dogloo" doghouse out back. I flipped it on its
side to roll it to the side of the house and backed off very, very fast
because there were so many crawly things under it. What I saw were some
kind of water bugs... and *then* I saw the dozen or so black widows. Now we
are verrrry careful about reaching into dark spaces, such as the sprinkler
system valves.
Just saw the new H. Potter movie and spiders are on my mind.

Yet another reason that any move I make will be farther north. I can take snow and ice and polar bears, but spiders and snakes and other bugs the size of your hand forget it.

Was in New Orleans at three in the morning and the sidewalk was covered with huge bugs, may have been roaches. I was not drunk.
Ugh. Yuck. Awful.
If there are brown recluse spiders in my area, they have thus far not introduced themselves. The worst problems that I'm aware of other people in NYC having are roaches and rats. I run a vermin-free home and have to date avoided taking any on as unwanted roommates.
The NYC subway system is infested with rodents, but they do tend to leave people alone and stick to living in and amongst the tracks.
I now have this mental image of a freakishly huge brown recluse spider with fangs as long as your arm etc. Just how large do they get?
