Is the black widow spider the strongest spider?

Answer 1

No. Though Spiders are all strong for their size, the black widow is small compared to most members of, say, the tarantula family. A tarantula could overpower the black widow easily. There are many other spiders out there a good deal larger than the black widow, and they could best it in "combat" should the occasion arrise. -------------------- The strongest spider is the Goliath Birdeating Tarantula. It can over-power a fully grown parrot.

Answer 2

Yes, but with a hitch. As such, a black widow spider cannot deliver the amount of venom that a rattlesnake can. See article: http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080814/LIFE06/808140349 ---------------------- However, the venom of a Black Widow is approximately FIFTEEN times more powerful than a rattlesnake.

Answer 3

First, as clarification:

Poisonous = dangerous to eat

Venomous = dangerous to be bitten by

So, technically, neither Black Widows nor Pythons are poisonous.

Also, Pythons are not venomous snakes. They are constrictors, meaning they squeeze their prey to suffocate them to death. Pythons have no venom, so Black Widows are "more" venomous than them.

Answer 4

Yes, Black Widow is the most poisonous spider.
