Description

Females have a telling sign of the red hour glass or red dots on them. The males have this feature in yellow or white color. They are also about 1/2 the size of the females. They are often mistaken for other types of Spiders. This is because they are usually brown in color rather than black.

Venomous bite

A bite from a Black Widow Spider is very dangerous. It is going to be very painful due to the volume of venom they produce. Immediate medical attention is important to prevent the venom from spreading. If it isn’t taken care of fast there could be irreversible damages to the tissues of the body. In spite of all of this experts believe that the Black Widow Spider isn’t aggressive. They believe that most bites to humans are the result of them feeling in danger. It is also believed that human fingers can often resemble prey to them.
