They are pretty cool to see in person. I must say! They are native to where I live here in the United States. My first spider was actually a wild caught brown female widow that I found outside. I didn't end up keeping her because I didn't have the proper enclosure. I've regretted it ever since🥲 funny story actually with this one. I kept finding my bike all webbed up next to my porch but never seen what spider made it. I went to the store the other night and came back to find this little lady in the same spot where I put my bike! She is the one who has been residing there😅 so for my safety and her safety, I brought her inside and have her an enclosure to stay in where she won't get squished and I won't accidentally get bit!
