i posted in rimfire section about my week at scout camp and shooting, but what i didn't mention there was the three differant black widows we had in camp. the first two were in the outhouse. these were all northern black widows and looked exactly like this bugguide.net/images/cache/1RZQURHQDR40L0M0Z0I0DQI0Z0MQJRSQURJKFQLQNRHQFQ70FQ80FQ3KYQ40FQI0CQX0WRKQ3RHQJQRQBR50JQ70.jpgthe third one was walking across my buddies cot yesterday morning when we were braking camp down. he was not too pleased to see it either. ;D neither of the three will ever be an issue again however.

here's what our tents are like that they use at camp

this is the back of my son's tent, they cleared out the back for "The Casino" (they took an extra cot and topped it with an extra floor board)

and here is some late night activity at the "Casino"
