That's definitely a black widow.


To confirm, please get very close, and see if it looks like this:

The 1st one is a standard garden spider. They get big but are harmless to a healthy person. I'm not sure about the 2nd one.

There's only 2 spiders in GA that you need to worry about. They are the Black Widow and Brown Recluse. Both of them can cause serious damage.

I've already posted a pic of a Black Widow.

Here's a Brown Recluse. If you want to see what kind of damage it can do, google(image) it. Some of the pics are nasty. I hope you don't have a weak stomach.

Heh, woke up two days ago being bit by this.



Wasn't much fun.

[DING-DONG YO]

What happened? You have to go to the emergency room? I didn't even know centipedes were dangerous. Just thought they were nasty. What state do you live in?

I googled it last night too. Did you see the guy who's hand was eaten away?

[jmill2511]

I live in Athens, it wasn't even that bad though, I was just woken up and felt something biting my foot. They really just look nasty, the bite itself wasn't that painful.
