What is cool about black widow spiders?

Answer 1

They call the spider a black widow because it is mostly black and they call the last part widow because the female kills its mate by eating the male!!!:)

1. Lays up to 400 eggs at a time
2. There is an red hourglass underneath part of her abdomen (containing the digestive organs; the belly
3. The Black Widow sider is the most poisonous spider in North America, but only the adult female
4. The male black widow spider is not harmful to humans
5. They will grow up 8-10 milameters
6. These Spiders, although a little scary, have enemies, as well. A few wasps can sting and paralyze, before eating the Black Widow. She is also a favorite food of the Praying Mantis. Some birds will eat these spiders but could end up with an upset stomach from her poisons. The bright red markings on her belly will warn possible predators that she is a nasty meal.
