The un-patterned, unsightly webs that black widow spiders build in undisturbed places are smaller than fist-sized, but the bite of the adult female really packs a punch. You’ll know if you’ve been bitten, as even a healthy adult, will develop an intense, wrenching pain—like you’ve been hit in the stomach.....

The plants will mature in the fall when it's cool, making crops sweeter at harvest because plant respiration decreases and more sugar accumulates at lower temperatures.....
