The black widows have been found in states including Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Another shocked customer stated their reaction to finding the big black widow spider:
“I saw the legs moving frantically,” Duckhorn recalled to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel. “I’ve seen bugs on fruit before, and I thought, ‘That is a very big spider.’ Nothing I’d ever seen before.”
