The Black Widow spider is a spider with a strong neurotoxin that can be fatal if bitten. Black Widow, the name derives from the habit of females who tend to eat males after mating.
Adult female black widow spiders have a shiny black belly and a red hourglass-like marking. The mark is usually red.
The Black Widow spider consists of a leg spread about 38 mm long. The body is about 13 mm long.
They generally feed on a variety of insects and also prey on large prey, such as snakes.
Although the toxin is highly toxic, the injected dose is small, and there are not many cases of death caused by biting.
