I only mentioned the back widow, the centipedes and the scorpiuon because of the paucity of herp species that were out and about due to the cool temps. I used to have them in my home in Calexico, CA (yes many years ago I lived in that choice garden spot of the USA). Funny thing was we never saw another bug in the house while they were about. The bad thing was that one of them bit me once (or so the doctors guessed it was a BW bite). Rather interesting experience it was, diziness, blurred vision, a slightly itchy lump the size of a duck egg oat the bite site, a red line up my arm from the site, and I was none the worse for the experience after a vist to the local ER and a few shots.
The thing about the one I saw recently in AZ was the sheer size of it. I had never seen one that big before. It was huge for any I have ever seen.
