How does a black widow spider protect itself?
Spiders are frequently camouflaged, and they may hide in burrows or other refuges. Many spiders come out after it gets dark and hide during the daylight hours. Some spiders use brilliant color schemes that may intend for birds and other predators to associate them with poisonous or venomous creatures that warn off predators. So spiders have many passive kinds of protection.
Spiders do not have stingers, but they do have sharp fangs, and almost all spiders have venom. The toxicity of most venoms is too low to bother humans much, but some spiders are dangerous enough to kill humans and even larger animals. Spiders generally prefer not to waste venom biting predators, so they first try to escape and/or make a threat display. If a spider is surprised it may not have time to do anything but bite.
Some tarantulas also can shed hairs that work about like fiberglass insulation to make predators smart and itch. These spiders may make a threat display, scrape off itching hairs and flick them at their enemies, try to run away, and only bite when these methods fail.
Go and find a spider try to attack it , you should see how they protect themselves.
The goliath birdeater is a species of tarantula that is known for its large size and impressive appearance. It is one of the largest spiders in the world, with a leg span of up to 11 inches. Despite its intimidating name, the goliath birdeater does not typically prey on birds.
How do black widow spiders hunt?
The black widow males sre the ony ones that have an ourglass on their abdomen and the bright redness is what attracts the female.
That statement is incorrect. The female has the hourglass on her belly and is larger than the male. The male has red and yello and white on it back.
___________
[edit] The attraction has NOTHING to do with colors. Black Widow spiders are cobweb weavers that use their web as their "vision"... listening and feeling for vibrations through it. They have VERY poor vision. Attraction is via pheromones. Once the male "sniffs" out a female, he enters the web and does a tap dance on the silk lines and vibrates his body parts to "speak" to the female and let her know he is a male of her species and not prey. Attraction and mating in this kind of spider, again, has nothing to do with vision.
By the way, both males and females have the hourglass on their underside. The previous person was correct that the female is larger than the male and that the male has some colorful markings. Immature females also have colorful markings. Black Widows are born nearly all white and gradually gain their dark color as they age.
Wolf spiders are not considered rare, as they are actually quite common and can be found in various habitats around the world. They are known for their hunting abilities and are often seen in grassy areas or near buildings.
