Comments & ID Thoughts
I don't know, but it was too big to ignore and I googled big fat black scary spider and up came false Widow. I have no idea, maybe a Black Lace Weaver also? It is 20 degrees here, we are in the middle of the countryside, and it is sitting on an Eastern facing wall, the sun just set. I have never seen it before, but I did get a fencepost jumper in my face last week.
