Black Widow found in Guam aboard cargo vessel
Stevedores in Guam last week found a Black Widow spider, along with numerous baby spiders, in a hatch aboard a Matson cargo vessel transiting from the U.S. West Coast.
The hatch was closed and handling operations on the ship were halted temporarily until it could be fumigated, a port official told the Guam-based Pacific Daily News.
The newspaper noted a cargo vessel (which was not identified in the report) infested with spiders was turned away from the port in the summer.
