The Things You See...

A while ago I posted an image of a dead black widow I photographed out where I walk my dog:

The area is a developing neighborhood, and there is silt fencing (black kevlar mesh, see the last picture at the bottom) lining the areas that have not been developed. Today I found that the runoff fencing is infested with Black Widow spiders. I see webbing everywhere, eggs and spotted 5-6 spiders easily in view.
