"Black Widow Invasion Black widow spiders are reported to have overrun northeastern Kazakhstan's city of Pavlodar, killing an elderly woman and terrorizing residents. The discovery of spider nests in the ventilation shafts of apartment buildings has sparked panic in residents. Local entomologist Oleg Lyakhov said the large spiders were first reported in the region briefly during 1983, but did not resurface until 1998 and 1999, when an ongoing drought in the Central Asian state also brought in hordes of locusts. Both cold weather and drought drive the spiders into buildings." from 'earthweek, a diary of the planet'
