I have a couple of Black Widow stories.. I don't kill them, either..

First - Our house up in the Santa Cruz mountains was in a Black Widow breeding ground. The place was over run with them.. Wifey's office was in our granny unit, and one day we were having problems with the home network, so I went in there to fiddle around with the router which was under her desk.

I go under there, and there's the tell tale tangle of webs, and a fat Black Widow in the leg space under her desk. I grab a glass and catch it, then go find the wife.. "hey sweety, notice any spider webs under your desk?".. "Uh, yeah.. I could feel some under there.." .. "Well looky what I found!!"

She just about died..
