Mrs. Widow and Her Orphans

Upon opening a box of canning jars retrieved from our outdoor shed we found this lady brooding over her greatest work in the dark recesses of the container.

While she is said to be 15 times as venomous as a prairie rattlesnake, her bite rarely kills humans. Nevertheless, while she was very beautiful indeed, we quickly disposed of her! Do you think that we left her 300-400 orphans to hatch!? The spiderlings are not poisonous, but that did not deter us from crushing her Magnus Opus as Charlotte so lovingly put it.
