What is the kingdom phylum class order family genus species of a black widow spider?

I'm not entirely sure of the true population of Black Widow Spiders however, all of the research I have done says that Widow spiders in general are all doing quite well. The term "Widow" spider refers to around 31 separate species, only three of which are located throughout the United States. The Southern Black Widow, the Northern Black Widow, and finally the Western Black Widow. I don't know about the Southern and Northern Widows, but the Western Black Widow is supposedly incredibly over populated. Many people "kill on sight". Going around just the area I live in I have come across more than 100 Black Widows, approximately a city block in area. I can only speculate that the Black Widow numbers in the trillions, (1,000,000,000,000+). If you are bitten by a Black Widow Spider, or suspect that you have been bitten by one, seek IMMEDIATE medical treatment. When seeking medical help, if at all possible bring the spider (or what is left of it), with you. This is of great benefit to the doctor and staff that are trying to help you. It is needed to help positively identify which spider it was that had injected the venom (different treatments are used for different bites). Symptoms can and do include: itching and discoloration (redness), swelling at injection site, and almost always severe muscle spasms, usually located heaviest in the legs or abdomen. The pain of the muscle spasms is said to be very similar to that of appendicitis or even that of child birth.
