Black Widow As a teacher in any area of the country it is important to teach about any organism that may pose a danger to children or adults. One of these is the Black Widow Spider. They are more common than you may think. The adult female is about 1.5 inches in length. In general they move slowly, are a dark shiny black color and have an hourglass shape in red on their underside. There are a variety of different species of "Widow" spiders and they have different markings. The male is about one half the size of the female. The mail may be a dark brown with a yellowish hourglass mark. Juvenile black widow spiders are usually brown with yellow stripes and a yellowish hourglass mark.
    They most often come out at night, capture a variety of different insects and quickly wrap them in web material and inject their potent poison which acts within minutes. To capture black widow spiders in some areas you might try taking a Styrofoam cup, push a stick into the ground and then put the cup upside down on the stick. Place this "trap" behind bushes in dark shady locations. Check after a few days. Be careful, their bite can be deadly, but are more dangerous to the very young, very old, or people with other health problems. Get treatment quickly if bitten.

    Black Widow Spider Bite Overview
    Of the 30,000 types of spiders, the black widow is probably the one best known and feared. Although spiders are often blamed for all kinds of symptoms, from local itching to diffuse rashes, the fact is that spiders rarely bite humans, and in fact, most spider bites do not even break the skin. The bites of very large spiders such as tarantulas can be painful. Otherwise, in the temperate regions, the only spiders to be feared are the black widow and the

The common name widow spiders is sometimes applied to members of the genus due to the supposed habit of the female of eating the male after mating, although the males of most species are not actually usually eaten after mating, and can even go on to fertilize other females. The black widow spiders are perhaps the best-known members of the genus.The injection of neurotoxic venom Latrotoxin from these species is a comparatively dangerous spider bite , resulting in the condition Latrodectism which is named for the genus. The female black widow's bite is particularly harmful to humans because of its unusually large venom glands.

    Female black widow spider with egg sac. Class: Arachnida
    Order: Araneae
    Family: Theridiidae Common Name Scientific Name black widow spider Latrodectus mactans Species in the genus Latrodectus are commonly known as widow spiders. A number of different species of widow spiders occur in the United States. The black widow spider ( L. mactans ) and the northern black widow spider ( L. variolus ) occur in Ohio, although both are relatively uncommon, especially in the northern half of the state. Other species of widow spiders occasionally arrive in shipments of household goods. The black widow spider has a potent neurotoxic venom and is considered the most venomous spider in North America. However, the female injects such a small dose of venom that it rarely causes death. Reports indicate human mortality at well less than 1% from black widow spider bites.
    Identification
    The adult female black widow spider has a shiny, jet black, spherical abdomen with two connected red triangles on the underside that form a characteristic hourglass marking. Note, however, that the hourglass color may range from yellowish to various shades of orange or red. Adult females are about 1/2-inch long, not including the legs (about 1-1/2 inches when legs are spread). Adult males are harmless, about half the female’s size, with smaller bodies and longer legs. The male’s abdomen usually has red spots along the upper midline and white lines or bars radiating out to the sides. Newly hatched spiderlings are predominately white or yellowish-white, gradually acquiring more black and varying amounts of red and white with each molt. Juveniles of both sexes resemble the male and are harmless.

    BLACK WIDOW SPIDERS
    How do black widow spiders get their name?
    Females black widow spiders are shiny black when full grown. Since the females commonly eat their mate after mating (as do many other spiders) they often are widows. How do you identify widow spiders?
    What do the eggs of widow spiders look like?
    Eggs of widow spiders are laid in an egg sack, attached to the web of the mother. The sack is pear shaped, and creamy yellow, light gray, or light brown in color. About 200 eggs may be laid in an egg sack and females may produce several egg sacks if conditions are favorable. Where do you find black widows?
    Widow spiders prefer to nest near the ground, in dark, undisturbed areas. Nest sites often are near holes produced by small animals, or around construction openings and wood piles. Low shrubs also are common sites for widows to occur. Indoors, widows similarly occur in dark, undisturbed sites such as behind furniture or under desks. Undisturbed basement areas and crawl spaces of homes are also used by nesting widow spiders. What are the symptoms of poisoning by widow spiders?

    Black widow spider
    The black widow spider ( Latrodectus mactans) has a shiny black body with a red hourglass-shape on the belly area. The bite of a black widow spider is poisonous. This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
    Poisonous Ingredient
    The venom of the black widow spider contains poisonous chemicals that make people sick.
    Where Found
    Black widows are found throughout the United States but predominantly in the South and West. They are usually found in barns, sheds, stone walls, fences, woodpiles, porch furniture, and other outdoor structures.
    Symptoms
    This first symptom is usually pain similar to a pinprick. This sensation is felt when the bite is actually made. Some people may not feel it. There may be minor swelling, redness, and a target-shaped lesion. Fifteen minutes to an hour later, a dull muscle pain spreads from the bite area to the entire body.

      Black Widow Spiders are considered venomous spiders in North America.
      Black Widow spiders are not usually deadly, especially to adults, because they inject only a small amount of venom.
      Despite its reputation, this spider often attempts to escape rather than bite, unless it is guarding an egg mass or if it is cornered and pressed.
      After mating, the female sometimes eats the male, earning the name "widow." IDENTIFICATION FEMALE BLACK WIDOW The female black widow spider is the most easily recognized, her shiny black body giving great contrast to the red hourglass marking on her round abdomen. Adult black widow spider males are harmless, about half the female's size, and usually have yellow and red bands with spots on their backs. The legs of the male are much longer in proportion to his body than that of the female, with it's body half the size.

    Black Widow Spiders
    The Black Widow spider ( Latrodectus ) is represented by five species in North America north of Mexico. Two of these species, the brown widow ( L. geostricus ) and the red-legged or red widow ( L. bishopi ), are restricted to a southern distribution. The red widow appears to be found only in southern Florida. The remaining black widow species were historically considered to be only one species but are now recognized as three distinct species . Identification is based upon the pattern of red coloration on the underside of their abdomen and by their geographical distribution, although the northern and southern black widows may coexist in some states. The Venom
    Although almost all spider species possess poison only a few species produce a venom virulent to be harmful to humans. Black widows are very timid spiders and are not known to agressively bite humans. However, the venom of black widows is a neurotoxin and it may interfere with the nerve impulses to muscle tissue. After being biten from a black widow one may feel painful rigidity in the muscles of the abdomen and a feeling of tightness in the chest. Other symptoms include an increase in blood pressure, a rise in body temperature, nausea, and sweating. Death is uncommon (less than 1% of the reported cases), but in the elderly or very young death may occur from asphyxia 14-32 hours after being bitten. Seek medical attention if you suspect you have been bitten. Without medical attention the symptoms can last 5 days and a complete recovery may take weeks.
