I have NEVER seen a spider like this here before but Yesterday I found this same spider in my car. I looked down and saw it hanging around my parking break… I, of course, freaked and started yelling black widow... black widow… Then a Knight in shining amour showed up to slay the poor creature...looking back it was quite comical but at the time… I could have had a heart attack!. Thanks for keeping this thread alive and keeping us spiderphobes in the loop and thus sane... I was very concerned when I could not find any picture that matched my spider.
You guys rock!
