The baby black have a similar shape as the adult, however there is a vast colour difference. The immature Widow Spider is much smaller than the adult and is yellow/brown in colour. The characteristic hourglass marking on its back is yellowish and not red. It is only after maturing and mating that the female spider takes on the sinister black body with red hourglass colouration on its back.

The young juvenile black window spider does not have any red markings.
