THIS is the Spider Bite to Worry About - The RED Widow (ft. @MichaelLDye )

There is a legend of Florida wilderness... a spider with a venom so TOXIC it causes nerve damage for life... and we’re going to track it down! The red widow is a threatened species of the palmetto scrubs of central Florida. Not enough people know about these spiders, so my good friend Zachary Gray (@LifesWildAdventures ) and I are heading out to find a spider we’ve wanted to see for years! Special Thanks to @DanielDDyeII and @MichaelLDye for their help and expertise throughout this adventure! Couldn’t have done it without you!
