Hello, I found this spider, along with several more like it of varying sizes, in my garden this morning. I also found over a dozen egg sacks like the one seen here, several times being guarded by these spiders.
Are these Brown Widows? And have there ever been reports of them in Israel before?
It does indeed appear to be a brown widow, and yes, it has been reported from Israel before - http://www.flickr.com/photos/divinorum_/2126503369/
Thank you for your help.
