Just so everyone knows.....don't ever try and get a Black Widow spider as a pet. When I was 13 years old I loved animals and insects, one day I found a Black Widow....she was beautiful so I trapped her in a large glass jar and brought her to my bedroom. I knew that their bite was dangerous but I also had no fear!! After a few hours I thought to myself, if I keep the lid on the jar she will eventually suffocate. My solution was to get a kitchen knife and poke some skinny slots into the lid for air to get in. I'm no dummy, I made the slots way too thin for her to get through!! (I'm a genius!!) Anyway, after a few days of feeding her flies and bugs she started to build this intricate web in the large jar. I said to myself, "Pretty Cool!!". Then one morning I woke up and their was an egg sack hanging in the web, I said to myself, " Alright, she's going to have babies!!!". Remember I was young and dumb and ...blaa, blaa, blaa!!
I continued to feed her then one night I went to sleep (here's where it gets creepy).....I was awakened in the morning because something was touching my face and I woke up brushing my face with my hand as I woke up. I brushed my face with my hand as I opened my eyes but whatever was on my face would brush off!! I tried to focus on what was on my face but it was so close I could make it out. So I sat up in bed to find that I was covered with spider webs (head to toe) !!! I looked around my bedroom and the whole room was covered (top to bottom, corner to corner) with spider webs, every corner and everywhere. Like I said before, I'm fearless, but I was starting to worry!!! I said to myself, "What the hell is going on???".
Long story short....The egg sack had hatched and thousands of baby Black Widows (which are extremely small) had crawled through the small slits in the jar lid and populated my bedroom during the night. As my eyes slowing focused I could see thousands of tiny spider crawling all over my body, bed, walls,....EVERYWHERE!!!! I had to slowly brush thousands of tiny webs and spiders off my body to stand and get out of bed only to get totally covered by more webs that were suspended all over my room. I'm fearless....BUT I WAS TERRIFIED!!!!!
In time I killed as many tiny spider as I could find in my room. They are very, very small (super tiny) and can hide in the smallest crevasse, in my bed frame, closet, etc, etc. Needless to say I set the spider loose outside and couldn't sleep for many, many nights wondering if the few tiny spiders who were hiding in the smallest places would get revenge on me for killing all their brothers and sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!
TRUE STORY!!!
