The Black Widow Spider can be found in most of the warmer regions of the world where the tempreature is warm and the air damp. The female Black Widow is usually a shiny black colour and witha body about 0.5 inches in length.
The Black Widow is very venomus and injects a posion similar to that of a rattlesnake. Only the female variety of the Black Widow is dangerous to humans. The males and babies are not.

To a human her bite is not initially painful, however, the posion she injects can be very harmful. It cna cause abdominal pains, as well as pains to the muscles and the feet. People with heart conditions should immediatly seek medical help as the posion can attack the heart and lungs and remain inthe blood.
