When I lived in southern California, black widows were pretty common. A few tips:
- They like to hang out in wood piles or corners of the garage.
- Their webs look "messy". Also the webs are pretty tough and don't tear easily. You can pluck them like guitar strings.

For a few years in my childhood, my mother and I shared a small house with a widow who'd set up housekeeping between the toilet tank and the wall; we got along fine, no doubt as much due to her ability to keep well fed in an old and not well constructed rural home, as to the respect we were careful to maintain in our dealings with her.
