We brought our Meyers lemon tree in for the winter, and Mrs. Paco was watering it when she found this thing skulking around the bottom of the pot...
The photo isn't very good (the old girl started trying to scurry away when I closed in on her with the camera), but I think you should be able to make out the red hourglass figure: the unmistakable sign of a black widow.
Normally when I see bugs and spiders in the house, I try to capture them and put them outside; however, I wasn't taking any changes with this one, so it was sent packing to spider heaven.
