Western Black Widow
Hatchlings (two photos)
Latrodectus hesperus

First of the hatchlings from three egg sacs in St. George,
Utah. These were in a large empty pot in the front
of my brother's house. © Carol Davis, 8-16-2008

Female Black Widow resting beneath her three egg sacs. No wonder
she's tired. Wouldn't you be if you had that many kids and no
husband or baby sitter? I had no idea they had that many babies
at one time. Yikes! © Carol Davis, 8-16-2008
