Cara mengenalinya

Females have red markings on both the top and underside of the abdomen, which no other African Latrodectus species has.1
Males have white markings on the underside of the abdomen, which darken with age.1
Egg sacs are large and smooth, bright purple when freshly laid, fading to shiny grey as they dry.1
Webs are not usually found outside the tree hollow. When present, they are typical hackle webs spreading out from the hollow.1
