An awesome black widow

This sucks

Thanks,
Dan Eby

Nice as always Dan... hope that snake didn't ruin your tats.

Gerry

LOL, Thanks Gerry.

Dan

Those are some AMAZING photos!

Dan,

Ouch! LOL. That Bullsnake(? or is it a Great Basin Gopher??) does not really like you too much.
Great pics, especially of the Dipper & the spiders. BTW, that is a Widow, but not a classic Black Widow. However, I would not want to take a bite & find out how closely related the two spiders are. What was that one thing though? I cannot tell if its a fuzzy tick or some kind of bug/beetle.
Your macro skills still continue to grow & leave me in awe. I am having a fairly decent field season here in Texas, though I don't have a lot f pics as of yet. Still trying to get a shot of the (fully) green colored Eastern Yellowbelly Racers we have here. Saw oe today, naturally left the camera at home.
Thanks for sharing!

Sincerely,
Matthew

Het Matthew, Thanks Alot!

Its a bullsnake, But I'm not sure what that bug is though.

Good luck

Dan

Sincerely,
Matthew
