Years ago, I had a waterbed which sprung a leak. The water was captured in the lining and when I began to drain that, I found a dead black widow floating upside down with its red hourglass up for the world to see. It looked just like plastic and I immediately thought my brother was playing a trick on me. He swore he hadn't. Finally, I took the spider out and stuck it with a knife point. Sure enough, spider stuff came out. I wondered how long I had slept with a black widow in my bed.
Actually, she initially thought it was a prank on the part of my son...It wasn’t. They are not aggressive spiders, but yikes how scary!!!
