Love ya, bro. But, I'm not going to be there. If I EVER go hiking with anyone on this site it will definitely be Cannabineer. It will be a conversation of puns.

Solifugae are an order in the class Arachnida (phylum Arthropoda). They are known also as sun spiders, camel spiders and windscorpions. They're primarily desert creatures. In fact, serious arachnophobes might opine that their habitat became a desert because all the other critters went ewwwwwww. cn

I'll bet you have the oddest urge to vacuum your bed.
I have been in the habit of pouring myself a (non-alc) beverage at bedtime, and drinking what's left in the morning. Twice I found a drowned earwig in there. The second time, it was in time to not swallow. No drowned spiders ... but a moth and lots of those miserable little Argentine ants. I need to get a copper coaster. cn

That could lead to trouble when i go for that first semiconscious glug of the morning. It was one of those ordinarily good ideas I rejected as impractical, along with leaving the glass in the fridge or just making it fresh in the morning. cn

I get dehydrated easily so I fill a pitcher with ice and set it and a mug, with a lid, on my bedstand coaster. By the time I get thirsty the ice has partially melted and the water is coooooold. (I love ice water). The lid has an opening that slides back and forth. So even if I'm half awake I can't spill it.
I learned from experience. Which is rare for me.
Plus out of curiosity, did you get my Benjamin Franklin reference?

I must admit ... no. When i think of Ben the first thing that comes to mind (not kites or bifocals or even Parisian courtesans) is the Glass Armonica. And that cannot be it. I yield. cn

We had a book of anecdotes that was printed in 1910. It still had the little tissue papers covering the illustrations. It was my grandmother's when she was a teacher. One whole section was dedicated to Benjamin Franklin. He had a life long servant that he depended on. They were good friends for most of Franklin's life. One bitterly cold night he was sitting close to the stove and adding more wood to stave off the chill. He dozed for awhile and woke up to his blanket smoldering and about to catch fire. The stove was cherry red with heat. He screamed for his servant. The servant came running in and Franklin ordered him to take the stove away. The servant blinked for a second and asked him why he didn't just move his chair. Franklin, with a shocked look on his face exclaimed, "By God, I never thought of that!"
I bastardized the story a bit but you get the gist. The moral? Sometimes brilliance overlooks the obvious.
Another time he was pushing Mr. Franklin in his invalid chair (he had a problem with gout) over a particular bridge when Franklin asked the servant if he liked eggs. The servant said yes and they went on their merry way. Several years passed and once again they were on the same bridge. Mr. Franklin asked him, "How do you like them?" The servant being well versed in his employer's thought processes simply replied, "Scrambled, sir." Nothing else was said on the matter.

Though I would have done the same as you in this situation, and agree that black widows should be exterminated with extreme prejudice, I don't think that's a black widow. Black widows have big fat asses with a red hour glass looking spot on top of it.

Bottom not top. And not all widows have the hourglass:
You have to be careful with misinformation when it comes to these little bitches. The consequences are certainly dire.

Well I certainly don't claim to be an arachnologist, not my area of science. So I can certainly admit that there may be more kinds of black widow than those that I described. Through the small amount of research I just performed I did learn that their venom is seldom fatal in healthy humans, there are 3 different kinds in the US, and the male and female of the species look vastly different. Even though I learned they may not kill me, I'm still going to have to destroy anything that looks like it could be one.

I just had to look. Be very glad you didn't or you would be reliving the whole experience again. Between you and Ryan I had nightmares.
