This is an image that often strikes fear into the hearts of the strongest men(and women)!
I found these two outside our front door…
Time to take out the macro lens and capture some images
I believe that this to be a rain spider, but I might be wrong…
We have some Peacock feathers next to the door…
and it was using them as a “stairway”…
Or, riding them like a wave…
DUMPED!
Then, just like the nursery rhyme…
“Along came another spider”…
“And sat down beside me” …
but instead of running I stayed.
Does the red “hourglass” on the abdomen mean that this is a Black Widow?
No, it does not, but it is from the same family…
This is a Brown Button Spider
ESKOM(our national electricity supply utility) turned the power off…
planned maintenance they call it…
I continued using two torches, instead of a flash.
These are those images…
Although rarely fatal the bite of this spider are incredibly painful
and medical attention is recommended.
