The best way that I know is the eye pattern. Two on the top row, four on the bottom row.
The amazing thing about Black Widow development, is how many different designs they go through to reach adulthood. Circles, swirls, x's and other shapes come and go as they slowly get darker. The hourglass starts out as a subtle X under their abdomen. You can see the beginnings on one of the shots.
The other way is their web, which in the case of the Black Widow, is extremely strong, and very disorganized looking. It sometimes looks like fine steel wire.

I apologize. I guess a lot of baby spiders look very similar. I'm wondering if the way to tell the difference is the stripe or spot on the spider's back. The photo I have, and the spiders I saw, had little dark brown or black stripes or spots on their backs, toward the tail end. It doesn't appear that your widow babies have this. Is that correct? |

I've lived around Black Widows my whole life. You can clearly see the eye pattern, and the pattern on the abdomen. These are definitely Black Widows, I know because I kept a few of them until adulthood, as I've done many times before. I still think they are beautiful, and I wouldn't suggest killing them anyway. |

These are not baby black widows. These are baby garden spiders (Argiope aurantia). Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argiope_aurantia
If you're not careful, people will misidentify and kill these beautiful spiders, thinking they are black widows.

Does anyone know of resources for harvesting and storing, and actually using the plant? It seems like most of the plant is useful, but I'm having trouble finding sources for how any of it is done properly. |

This is a hard one, it looks like it's in the Araceae family. Maybe a relative of a Philodendron. If you can get larger images, with close-ups of the stem and leaves, or any other interesting features, I would have a better chance of tracking it down. |

It doesn't.

There were no rhizomorphs present. Also many of them had no annulus, I was under the impression that Honey Fungi produced fruiting bodies that invariably had an annulus? |

Found out is a scarlet rose mallow, which is a type of hibiscus, native to mostly marshlands. We live in IN! However, the area where mine is planted, the soil stays wet because our a/c drains there! It is it's happy place!

The wood of tulip poplar is a "soft" hardwood which machines easily but has a slightly fuzzy surface. These charactertistics make it very desirable as a "secondary" wood so it is often used for the inner pieces of furniture vice the "primary" wood which is the one you see - like maple, cherry, oak, et al. |

Wow, Thanks for such quick responses. I added one more pic although unless you can zoom in on it, it may not be very helpful. There are 5 petals on each flower. The plants are not at my house so it may be a while before I get there to take additional pics; but, I will do that when I can. In the meantime, the Plumbago looks like it might be it from the pics I saw of that.
Thanks again! |
