The black widow spider is known for its distinctive red hourglass shape on its abdomen. These venomous arachnids are found worldwide and are known for their unique mating behavior where the female sometimes eats the male after mating. Despite their fearsome reputation, black widows are actually shy and non-aggressive unless provoked. They play an important role in controlling insect populations in their habitats. #BlackWidow #SpiderFacts #ArachnidLove
