Here’s a doozy for all you T4R.org spider lovers. Somewhere around 12 years ago, a spider managed to find its way into my then girlfriend’s car. It was night and I was driving her car back to my place after dropping her off at her’s when I felt something crawling up my right arm that was resting in my lap. Naturally, I went to hit whatever it was off my arm and continued on to my place and when I arrived at my destination I could feel spider webs as I went to shift the car from drive to park. These webs felt quite a bit different from ordinary spider webs. My eyes widened and my heart raced as I turned on the dome light and searched the car. After a minute or two or searching, I spotted a good-sized black widow spider balled up in the cup holder and it was still very much alive. I examined my arm where it had been crawling and saw a red spot with what appeared to be two tiny puncture marks. I captured that SOB in a pill bottle and headed to the nearest ER. Luckily for me, I received what ER physician called a dry bite. Since the black widow spider caused me no real harm, I decided to return the favor and let it go.
Welp, hope you all sleep well later tonight!
