The elegant Widow

This spider is a close cousin to the brown widow. As the name implies it appears to have an elegant design but rest assured that this spider is quite venomous.

so avoid it if possible.

When I say avoid what I am really saying is to leave alone. Some people try and capture spiders because of their strange markings, or they simply do not know what kind they are dealing with and think it is another harmless cool looking spider. Not so in this case.

pretty much leave it to its nest.
