Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
As many of you knows now, I hate spiders with a passion. So I was Googling different spider names to see if there was any dangerous species in Czech Republic... and Europe in general. (Knowing the existance of nasty criters in a country you are planning to visit is always a good thing, so you can stay away from those criters. Helps keeping down hospital expenses too.)
What I found when I typed "Black Widow Map" surprised me... This is the distribution map of both the Black Widow and Brown Widow.
Is anyone else surprised to see that there is "Widow-class" spiders on over 50% of the globe ?
