Spider I found in my garage...

I couldn't get a better/closer/macro shot of it cause I'm just using the kit lens & working with what I've got :)

That is just a friendly black widow

That's a black widow-better not get too close although they are not aggressive...

So I probably shouldn't have caught it, put it in a jar & taken more pictures with the lid open?

Eh... they're all over the place here, not very aggresive. Just dont touch it with you hands! :D

Once, more than twenty years ago, just because the mood struck me, I shook out my boots before putting them on. I usually left them out at night because of the dirt. Well, out pops a black widow!

Not aggressive or not, I can't imagine how it would have felt about me shoving my foot in there!

I now shake out all my shoes. Even 20+ years later.

I've always worried about putting shoes and boots on that were left outside and sometimes give them a shake. NOW I will DEFINITELY give them a thrashing.
