The Black Widows...

So, I was out working in our garden the other day and I noticed one of the pepper plants had fallen down. So, naturally, I decided to pick it up. I had planned to just build up the dirt around the base for extra support. But, when I reached in, I felt something crawly. I immediately jerked my hand out and grabbed my shovel to see what it was. Low and behold, there was a momma black widow and her baby (and maybe babies, but I didn't stick around to find out). I will be wearing gloves from now own in the garden! GROSS!
