A bite from a female Black Widow can cause awful pain, dizziness and even death! They and many others, hold the title of the most feared spider on the planet!  A Black Widow's web works like fishing, several webs hang from the main web and touch the ground. When a insects breaks either the web string from above or below the spiders "boat," the Widow crawls to the end of the line and brings the insect up and wrap it up with silk. Widows actually have four different poisons that is contain in their venom and one of the poisons attacks the human nervous system! The venom rarely causes death but will cause a unbearable pain and damage the nerve endings. Thankfully the antivenom has been developed.
