We tend to have a live-and-let-live mentality at the ranch. This even carries over to some of our more daunting neighbors, like this beautiful Black Widow Spider that set up shop in one of our rubbish bins. Since she wasn’t actually in the way, we just left the lid of the bin open and she moved off to a more sheltered location.
Fun fact: did you know that bites from such spiders “rarely cause death or produce serious complications”? So says Wikipedia.
