The Original Title of This Post Was to Be Me: 1 Black Widows: 0

I often have to fill barrels of water and haul them to work sites in my truck. Below, you will see two photos of one such barrel. One has a black widow in it. The other features the same black widow after it had been motionless underwater for a minute or two courtesy of me. I was convinced I had killed this black widow until I took off down the road, looked in my rearview and saw the spider emerging from the barrel. Apparently, black widows are impervious to drowning, which makes toilets scarier, I think.
