Judy Reardon found a nasty surprise in a 4 pound box of Costco grapes. A spider. A black widow spider. She put it in a jar. The husband is keeping it for some reason. Check your grapes carefully.
They took it to the University of Minnesota's insect museum, where they confirmed that it was in fact a black widow.

The woman contacted the grapes supplier and was surprised to learn that this happens about once per year. But they think it might have come from Minnesota because of the climate being right at this time of year.

They said that the spider's new home will be at the university's insect museum, so I guess the husband finally let it go.

We should always be careful when bringing fruits and vegetables home. Other "things" ride in with them.
