The western black widow is a venomous spider that lives in western North America. The female is black, often with a red hourglass mark on her belly, and her webs are tangled and irregular. Her venom is strong, so it is worth knowing what she looks like.1

Faktlar

1

When prey hits a gumfoot thread, the thread breaks and creates tension that pulls the line and prey up to the spider.1

2

This spider is an opportunistic cannibal, and it may eat other members of its own kind when prey is scarce, when it is very hungry, or in self-defence.1

3

The silk is strongly sticky, and its strength is similar to that of silk from orb-weaving spiders.1

4

Males can be preferred by females based on the webs, with well-fed females chosen over starved ones.1

5

Males may mate several times during their relatively short lives.1
