I thought so, Thank you very much. I will definitely be posting again, because I live in the country and normally find all kinds of spiders that I know nothing of. It’s so welcoming to know what I am working with or dealing with. This brown widow had been my coworker for a few days. I assume it moved on, since it is not there anymore.
