Found this little guy in my garage this morning; a male black widow spider. Notice the red stripes on is back. The males don't have the hourglass mark they have red stripes. Finding the male tells me, one, he hasn't mated with the female yet (the female kills the male after they mate) and two he won't mate with any females anymore - if you catch my drift. Middle Tennessee has alot of spiders. Stay tuned for more spider postings. By the way, the male is not poisonous.
