Default I had a huge Black Widow crawl up my leg today.

I was installing vapor extraction wells inside an empty warehouse with a limited access drilling rig. It is dark and has lots of Black Widows. I noticed it climbing up my pantleg headed for my crotch. I knocked it off and stomped on it.

Damn. I misunderstood.

I thought we were going to get a story about a BB African American woman trying to hit on you.

Most dangerous thing around here is a deer jumping out in front of your car. Although a black widow secuding you would at least be fun at first.

Did it pop, Raptor? They have such a bulbous body. We have them around here but I don't usually see them in the winter.

I assume the black widow was crawling on the outside of your clothing. When working in such conditions, I usually see people (duct) tape all the openings in their clothing to make sure nothing gets inside. Either that or wear one-piece overalls that have no openings.

Are your Black Widows as dangerous as our variant (The Red Back Spider)?
