An immature black widow spider can be called a "spiderling."
The Black Widow spider got its name because the female eats her mate following mating. Though this does not always happen, people believed it did and therefore gave the spider its title. The female usually kills the male after mating.
They are arthropods, phylum Arthropoda.
The name "Black Widow" comes from the spider killing their mate, plus they are black with a red or yellow hourglass.
The Black Widow belongs to the family Theridiidae. The specific scientific name for black widows is Latrodectus.
The Black Widow on Counterfeit Island is female. The name comes from the poisonous species of spider, in which the female spider kills the male when they mate. The name "black widow" is colloquially any woman or wife who kills one or more husbands or mates, especially for financial benefit.
The scientific name of the black widow is Latrodectus mactans. It is a species of venomous spider known for its distinctive black body and red hourglass marking on the abdomen.
I'm not entirely sure of the true population of Black Widow Spiders however, all of the research I have done says that Widow spiders in general are all doing quite well. The term "Widow" spider refers to around 31 separate species, only three of which are located throughout the United States. The Southern Black Widow, the Northern Black Widow, and finally the Western Black Widow. I don't know about the Southern and Northern Widows, but the Western Black Widow is supposedly incredibly over populated. Many people "kill on sight". Going around just the area I live in I have come across more than 100 Black Widows, approximately a city block in area. I can only speculate that the Black Widow numbers in the trillions, (1,000,000,000,000+). If you are bitten by a Black Widow Spider, or suspect that you have been bitten by one, seek IMMEDIATE medical treatment. When seeking medical help, if at all possible bring the spider (or what is left of it), with you. This is of great benefit to the doctor and staff that are trying to help you. It is needed to help positively identify which spider it was that had injected the venom (different treatments are used for different bites). Symptoms can and do include: itching and discoloration (redness), swelling at injection site, and almost always severe muscle spasms, usually located heaviest in the legs or abdomen. The pain of the muscle spasms is said to be very similar to that of appendicitis or even that of child birth.
