I got out today after work for a while. These are a few of the bugs I got. I also have a, I think, Black Widow spider

Is the pic in your post the one you thought may be? I don't think so. BW females are about 0.5 inch long, are smooth bodied (yours shown is quite hairy), black and have a truly distinctive red hour glass on the underside of its abdomen. Males are only about half as long and usually have red dots along the sides of the abdomen. Males are rarely seen and are harmless. There are several species in the US -- owning different colorings, though I believe they all have spherical abdomens.
What caught my attention in your shot is the zig zagging thicker web work below the spider -- I have seen lots of them in tall grasses lately -- Argiope aurantia or "Garden Spider" I think is what you caught there. Check out some photos at:
 
I really like that green one with red dots -- looks sticky -- is it? And I never before noticed the hairy knee-caps of the Japanese Beetle (is that what that is?)
You are zooming in on these intricate "pests" ( I like how you put in a previous post that through photography of these buggars, you are finding a love for them -- BIG GRIN!!)-- your determination and tenacity will produce the images you desire before long. HH
 
No this is the one I was wondering about. It sorta has an hourglass figure on it but it is on the back. I don't know much about these things but am developing an interest. Iam gonna check around on your site and see if I can identify it.. <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> I am glad someone is looking at this stuff <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

there is more to this that I thought. It is a lot of fun now that I am getting some of it figured out.
Lighting is a bit of an enigma to me right now. I take a bunch of pictures and keep changing the angle of the flash and changing from Apt priority to shutter priority to see the effects. I get the shutter too fast and the pictures are too dark but they are sharper if the light is right.
I don't really understand it yet but am having fun so what the heck <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)">
 
I don't know what the heck I am doing yet. I was told that was a Jap-beetle.
That one green one I had never seen before. I don't know if it was sticky because I didn't pick it up <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=":)">
