While out on a bike ride last Sunday, I killed a large black widow spider hanging from the window ledge next to the picnic table on the north side of the Worthington Springs convenience store. I didn't give this a lot of thought until we happened upon the B-17s hanging out at that picnic table yesterday.
Anyway, if you happen to be planning to sit at that picnic table on a bike ride, I would look it over pretty thoroughly before plopping down there. I've seen other
spiders and webs under that table in the past and with black widows in the immediate vicinity, better safe than sorry.
Most people bitten by black widows don't die from it, but it could still involve a very unpleasant hospital event, and mess up your planned bike ride.
Ride safe
