Black widow in web showing red hourglass

<- Return to Black Widow spider page

This picture shows the complete body of a black widow, from its underside. Notice the dense hairy legs, and the glossy black exoskeleton. The glossy black is a key identifying market, aside from the red hourglass marking, which does not always look like an hourglass, AND is not always red.
