Brown Widows are an introduced species and they may become a threat to the native Black Widows. Looks like she has been eating well. The webbing is interesting.
Summerville, SC is an awesome place to hunt insects, spiders, and wildflowers! I had a lot of fun hiking and taking photos there.
It’s funny..There was a black widow in that spot 2 days before..I took pics of that too..
