Most people who live in the great state of Arizona have become acquainted with the black widow spider. The female is especially noticeable due to her large size and red mark on her abdomen. The female black widow is far more toxic than the male. The male black widow
does not even bite and is really quite harmless while the female black widow has a nasty, poisonous bite. The webs of the black widow spider do not need much space and are generally thick and matted in nature.

The web is unusually formed in a tangled up way as compared to most other spider webs. The venomous bite of the female black widow spider web is nothing to scoff at either. The easily recognizable size and shape has made the female black widow spider one of the most feared spiders in the state. The fact is that the venomous black widow bite is fifteen times more toxic than a bit from the infamous rattlesnake.  Thankfully even though the bite from the female black widow is painful and dangerous it is not likely to be deadly.
