Again, Southern Black Widow Spider (Latrodectus mactans).
She's coming right for me!
Again, when encountering this spider, look but do not handle.

Awesome find! I had a run in with a Widow a couple summers ago. Had a web on a ladder in my yard. I can't help but think that the beauty of a creature goes up as the toxicity goes up. :3
OMG is that thing nasty looking....
I do realise that spiders are allies to humanity but that thing is FUCK SCARY!!!!
P.S. be sure to get some creepy shit for halloween.

Black Widows tend to be very timid. Their first reaction to you is usually to drop off their web and curl up into a ball.
Most bites occur due to accidentally grabbing the spider or pressing it against the skin inadvertently.

Brown widows follow the same behavior. Although their bite isn't really too significant.
