Not really, because black widow spiders are poisonous. ^That answer is not true! Chickens love all kinds of spiders. The spider is only poisonous if it bites the chicken.

Why are the black widows important to nature?

All spiders are important to nature. They eat bugs which helps to prevent overpopulation. The black widow, however, is as unique as any spider is, but it STILL EATS BUGS. Some are venomous, like the black widow, for an instant. Although they DO control the amount of bugs, some are deadly, so I'd suggest killing them on sight. That is, unless it's pregnant. Then all the little spider~babies scatter everywhere. *shudders* Hope this helped!
