Of all the hats I wear, some would be surprised to see my 'Black Widow Hunter' hat. (The rest of this imagine with an Aussie accent.)

This sly little beauty sneaks around cubbies and yahrds. She likes to hide where she cahn't be seen, but her web gives her away. Every summer I hunt one of the deadliest arachnids state side. She's scary all right, nothing next to our Funnel Web Spider, but she can give you a nasty tummy ache and make you sweat much. Don't attempt to capture one of these beauties yourself, you must call me, for I am the 'Black Widow Hunter'. (End accent.)

Yes, yes. I spend much time every summer killing off these things, they are everywhere. The picture is of my first kill of the season. It's not that I hate Black Widows, on the contrary, I find them fascinating; but my family's well being takes precedence.

I'm awaiting an e-mail from a PETA representative stating "we just started a new branch of PETA for low-lifes just like you, it's called People for the Ethical Treatment of Arachnids.
