Thank you for trying to ID her. 🙂 Here’s a link to more info about her: https://bugguide.net/node/view/16526 The markings are similar to the Widow, but she’s bigger. She’ll try to stay in the same area as long as she can survive. She’ll make an egg sack soon. The babies will emerge and travel in Spring.
