Post by: boneaddict on August 30, 2014, 01:08:15 PM: I heard somewhere that Yakima county was the Black Widow capital of the world. I believe them....

Post by: b23 on September 12, 2014, 10:12:25 AM: My mom found one on an outdoor table in my parents back yard and put it in a fruit jar. I'm not sure why she just didn't squish it on site, none the less, she showed it to me when I got home. There was a bottle of bleach on the counter and being young and no fan of spiders, especially BW, I thought Hmmm, bleach, BW spider in jar, wonder what will happen if I mix the two. So I filled the fruit jar about 1/3 the way with bleach. In a matter of seconds it bleached that BW into this weird almost translucent color. I think BW are creepy as hell looking anyway but an albino BW was even more creepy. A few seconds longer and that BW just disintegrated into nothing. And they live in Yakima County.

One fall evening as it was starting to get cold outside I killed 4 that were on the move around the outside of the house. Had never seen one before and only saw one more afterward. Creepy, gangly looking suckers.

Post by: LDennis24 on September 12, 2014, 10:37:34 AM: There are quite a few around Rock Lake south to Benge in the scab rock too. When i was splicing fiber in Ewan we would have to go into the C.O. and turn phones online again and a HUGE one lived in the battery storage area and i would feed it the cold yellow jackets from a nest by the door outside during the winter! Most I have ever seen was in Hell's Canyon hiking one year and I carried a dark maroon pack with black on it. For some reason only on my pack, every morning when I woke I would have to brush off about 2-3 black widows before putting my pack on! I'm feeling jittery now just thinking about it! Every tickle would make you freak out!
