What is the kingdom phylum class order family genus species of a black widow spider?
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.
What are the natural predators of a Black Widow spider?
Some natural predators of Black Widow spiders include birds, reptiles (such as lizards), and some insects like the mud dauber wasp, which is known to prey on Black Widow spiders. These predators help regulate the population of Black Widow spiders in their natural habitats.
What kind of spider has the body style of of black widow but does not have the red hourglass and is more of a brown color than the jet black color of a Black widow Is it dangerous?
Spiders of the genus 'Steatoda' are often mistaken for Black widow spiders , and are known as false black widows; however Steatoda are significantly less harmful to humans. Steatoda are shaped similarly to widow spiders, with round, bulbous abdomens. A few come in very, very dark brown and closely resemble the black widow. To be safe I recommend following the link I added at the bottom and looking at the pictures and information, it might help you narrow down exactly what spider your talking about. Also knowing what part of the world you are in would help with the identification.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_widow_spider
What part does the black widow play in the ecosystem?
The black widow contributes to it's ecosystem in (mainly) the same way that most spider do: by consuming small insects, namely flies and mosquitoes. The black widow also help control pests that affect crops such as locusts, caterpillars, grasshoppers, etc. The black widow can not be safely consumed by birds, since when the birds eat their venom glands they are poisoned. However, black widow spiders are eaten by mud-dauber wasps. Generally, in ecosystems where the black widow spider is not present another species of spider will be present to control the insect population. black widows have red dots on their belly.just a fun little fact. i'm sorry if anything is spelld rong i am just 8.

Is there a cure for black widow bites?
There is no definitive cure for black widow bites, but medical treatment can help manage symptoms. Antivenom may be administered in severe cases to counteract the venom's effects. It's important to seek medical attention immediately if bitten by a black widow spider to prevent complications.
Type of spider is widow spider?
"Widow spiders" are venomous spiders of the Genus Latrodectus that have a rather bad reputation for eating their mate. However, this is not entirely fair, as not all species of Latrodectus do this. Perhaps the most commonly known widow spiders are Latrodectus mactans (Southern Black Widow), Latrodectus hesperus (Western Black Widow), and Latrodectus variolus (Northern Black Widow). It is the black widow which gave Latrodectus such a bad reputation. Among other commonly known Latrodecta are Latrodectus pallidus (White Steppe Spider), Latrodectus bishopi (Red Widow), Latrodectus tredecimgutattus (European Black Widow), Latrodectus cinctus (Black Button Spider), Latrodectus hasselti (Redback Spider), and Latrodectus katipo(Katipo Spider). There is one species that occurs worldwide, except Antarctica, Latrodectus geometricus. Latrodecta have such a negative association not only because of their notorious mating habit, but their bite. Latrodecta have an incredibly venomous bite, which causes a condition called Latrodectism. Latrodectism affects circulatory system, and can cause fatal heart attacks. It is also extremely painful. However, with modern technology, most Latrodecta bites do not result in fatalities, if treated expediently.Widow spiders belong to a larger group called Theridiidae. All of these spider make a tangled sort of web, and all of them have almost spherical abdomens. So their habits are similar, but their sizes can be quite different. One other kind of spider in this group, the Steatoda ("false black widows"), are close enough relatives of the widow spiders that their venom has similar effects of humans. However, these spiders produce much less venom so their bites are not medically significant. They even look rather like black widows, but they do not have the red markings on the abdomen that help identify black widows.
Can you provide information on spider identification in Idaho?
In Idaho, common spider species include the hobo spider, black widow, and wolf spider. These spiders can be identified by their distinct physical characteristics and behaviors. It is important to exercise caution and seek professional help if encountering potentially dangerous spiders.
How venomous are red widow spiders?
Male spiders produce the toxins to help with their own hunting, but they make such a diluted version that they're not harmful to most people. Female black widows, on the other hand, have quickly evolved super concentrated venom that can kill a person. Each year, about 2,200 people report being bitten by a black widow, but most recover within 24 hours with medical treatment. Many people who are bitten develop few symptoms since the spider may not inject its venom. Black widows are not especially aggressive spiders, and they rarely bite humans unless startled or otherwise threatened.[16Contrary to popular belief, most people who are bitten suffer no serious damage, let alone death. Fatal bites were reported in the early 20th century mostly with Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, the Mediterranean black widow.[Since the venom is not likely to be life-threatening, antivenom has been used as pain relief and not to save lives.[18] However, a study demonstrated that antivenom and placebo added to standardized pain medication had similar improvement in pain and resolution of symptoms.
What kind of spider is bright green and has small red spots on its back?
There is a spider called a Northern Green Jumping Spider, or Clown Spider (mopsus mormon), with a light green body and red spotted legs. You would most likely find one during the day in Australia. They have excellent vision and it wouldn't be likely for one not to see you sneaking up on it. These spiders actually vary in color. Some have red spots, but some do not. I couldn't find any other spider that matched your description.
What is the deadliest spider in Michigan?
Some say that the black widow spider is the deadliest spider in Michigan, close but but not the deadliest. THE deadliest spider in Michigan is the brown recluse in its mature form. Although occationally deadly a small number of bites can cause necroses which is simply the disolving and if not treated quickly can cause serios injury and for some cases death more to those who are young particularly under 10. Dont worry about not feeling the bite while sleeping, within seconds you will feel imense pain and in minutes intense and frustating breathing. Here is a bite from one
What family does the wolf spider belong too?
There are a number of black spiders with red on their backs. The most commonly referenced one is probably the black widow. But it is not the only one, and not all of them have red on their backs.It might help to note that the female black widow is mostly black, and may or may not have red (or red-to-orange color) on its "back" or the top sIde of its abdomen. (Viewed from the top or above, the female black widow is all or almost all black.) Some have a splash of red on their "back" or the top of their abdomen. Additionally, the hourglass that appears on the female L. mactans varies a bit from red to orange, and can be very dark in color. This characteristic mark is always on the bottom or ventral side of its abdomen.
