We were shutting up the ducks and the chickens and found this in their feeder.....! So, my son thought it might be a redback, but after viewing the photos is it a blackwidow? BTW....It was the biggest one I've seen to date and these aren't great photos, just quickly snapped and hard to capture because of lighting.

I don't know, but looks close enough to black widow for me.
Was laying tile yesterday and noticed a small male black widow crawling on the floor towards my last tile. Before I set the tile in hand down, he scurried under the set tile into the thin set....
Guess I don't have to worry about him anymore.
