Unfortunately I was unable to get better picture of these two spiders but would appreciate any help with ID. I’m pretty sure the second one is a brown widow but couldn’t figure out if the first one was that or a common house spider. The silk of both webs were kinda strong compared to other spider webs. The first was found in a cabinet in our garage and the second between a car and a shelf in our shop. Found in Northeast Georgia, USA.
I am working on pressing some flowers for a personal project. I would like a proper flower press but don’t want to buy one. My dad had some old wood lying around so I figured I’d use some of that to just make one and save the money. I have two options and would like to know which would be better. There is some pressed wood (looks like the back of some old cabinet or something) that is in good shape and I also have a 2x12. I know the 2x12 would be good but want to know if the pressed board would work since it would be smaller and more easy to handle. Thank you for any advice.
