In the mating ritual of the black widow spider, the female kills the male after he has fulfilled his duty of mating with her. When refering to a woman 'black widow', it is meant that she has killed her spouse/significant other.

The black widow is common among female serial killers, which usually kill family members or people to whom they are caregivers such as nurses, ect. This is one of the major differences between male and female serial killers.
