Latrodectus variolus, Northern Black Widow! My first attempt to post it didn't work. This was so cool! The Widow and House Centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata were about to battle on the side of my house..

Steatoda borealis. 🙂
Who’s eating who?
I posted the entire encounter, the surprise ending (Spoiler!) is that the centipede tricked the spider into attacking it. The centipede wins! You can see my pics by tapping my username then the camera icon.
Cool!
