An uninvited guest

Recently we found ourselves with a new tenant who wasn't interested in paying her share of the rent. Living in Nevada, we know that we have to look out for black widows, but this one was a little bit bigger than we were prepared to keep around. I decided I should take a picture of this beauty one morning on the way to school only to realize that she really is too big for comfort. Later that night we went on hunting expedition. Tim caught a moth and then we realized that this lovely lady was too fast to properly dispose of too. We ended up getting her into a jar and suffocating her.


We were planning on dissecting her later, but she was disposed of before we could get to her. Shucks! Lucky for us there are always more black widows around here.
