All I saw was a giant "NOPE" on my screen.

She certainly is. I don’t usually see them in the daytime, but it was still cool enough then that they enjoyed a bit of afternoon sun.

Oh they’re there alright . Actually I don’t mind them at all when I know where they are. It’s the dark corners where one might be that make me a little nervous.

From Wikipedia:

"Black widow bites are potentially dangerous and may result in systemic effects (latrodectism) including severe muscle pain, abdominal cramps, diaphoresis, tachycardia, and muscle spasms. Symptoms usually last for 3–7 days, but may persist for several weeks."

I like spiders and all, but I gotta draw the line there.
