  1. I've never seen on in New Hampshire.  But apparently, there's a Northern Black Widow.  You learn something new every day.  Can i go home now?

    Since i generally go with the evidence, i'd say that Black Widows are found on dirt bikes in New Hampshire.


  2. Black Widows are primarily the Southern Black Widow are found in (and is indigenous to) the southeastern United States, ranging from Florida to New York, and west to Texas, Oklahoma and Arizona, where they run particularly rampant. The northern black widow is found primarily in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada (only on the Bruce Peninsula), though its ranges overlap that of L. mactans quite a bit. The western widow is found in the western United States, as well as in southwestern Canada and much of Mexico. There have been incidents in Sweden and Denmark with black widow spiders being found in cars imported from the southern U.S.

  3. I have found black widows in South Dakota, Wyoming, Texas, Georgia, just about every place I've lived.   Here is the URL for black widow spiders in Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_widow...

    It mentions they are found in New York state!  With warming of the climate, black widows' range of territory may expand northward!  You can look in undisturbed places such as rocky crevices, in corners of basements, under old boards or sheets of metal to see if you can find any in your area.  If you find one or more, leave them alone unless it is in a place where someone could get bitten.  They are strikingly beautiful with their jet black bodies and the red hourglass on the underside of the abdomen!

  4. widows are one of the poisonous spiders found in North America and occur in all 48 states from Mexico to Canada

  5. Ouch, I thought that you were asking where black widow spiders could possibly be found,  not in which state----However, since I'm here---I think they can be found in any of the United States, particularly the East Coast, up and down the entire area, I'm in AL and they are all over down here.  When I was helping my son collect his insects/spiders for zoology project, we found several of both types, (both the spider, itself, and it's subspecies) and were even trading them for other insects/spiders.  

    He even found several brown recluse spiders which are more savage than black widows.  Sure the black widow can kill, with her venom and, by the way, so can her supspecies (the difference between the two kinds of widows have to do with the shape of the red hour glass), but a brown recluse spider can cause skin to deteriorate.  So in a way, it's even more savage than a black widow, and harder to find, too.

  6. Africa.  There are millions of them.

  7. in the black windows lmaooooo i crack myself up
