Music Along the Blue Ridge Parkway

Music Along the Blue Ridge Parkway | Motorhome Madness | Scoop.it

Spider Identification Chart - Venomous or Dangerous?
Marianne Riddile's insight:

When you travel, you may come across spiders that you are not familiar with.  Some can be dangerous.  I just killed a black spider with 3 red dots on it.  Assuming that it could be a black widow, it had to go.  Hope there are no family members lurking nearby.
