Another venomous spider is the Black Widow , which is notable by their black color and a red spot or hourglass on a female's black abdomen.
Males usually have light streaks on the abdomen.
The female gets its name from the fact that it eats the male after mating. Black Widow spiders are not agressive unless touched or pressed, and rarely leave their web, where they hang belly-upward. They are reclusive spiders. They are commonly found in stacks of firewood, in low-use storage sheds, and other unbothered places. All rights reserved.
