John Wayne is correct. That is a Southern black widow - they often have red spots on the back, as well as the hourglass red on the belly. It did not survive this encounter. That egg sac had 100-400 eggs in it. Fatality rate for black widow bites is 1-5%. The other 95% just wish they had died.
The toughness of the web was amazing. I had exert real force to open the web to expose the spider. |
