Re: [RC] [RC] Spider web "FOOT" - Laurie Durgin

I always find them under wood piles, wood ships, landscape timbers and rocks. Seem to like my raised beds too.At certain times of year I can turn over a rock and sure enough there they'd be.

Number one place for black widows around here is under the water trough
or in the bottom of the salt block holder (underneath.)  They like it
dark and damp.I could probably go get one right now. I used to use a
large garbage can to water the horses in and the two little handles to
stick your fingers in on bottom were their favorite places. I'd flip it
over and the female (big one) would be in one of the finger slots and the
male would be in the other. Learned to *never* put my hand on the bottom
of something like that to flip it.  Same goes for the salt block holder.
The female will be on one side and the male on the other. You have to
look hard when you see a "messy" web. The spider hides over in the dark
and is shy. If I've left a bucket upside down in the barn for while I
check it very well before I'd pour feed in it for a horse. I've had them
build in there too.

Every horse can be taught to walk faster than you think.  It is one of the
most important qualities of a good riding horse.  Some have it naturally,
others need to learn. On the other hand, if you are riding a tired horse,
an easy jog is more efficient, covers more groumnd with less effort.  (it's
the rebound effect of the two beat trot)
