I have never seen a Northern or any black widow in person but i would really like to. Unfortunately though i live way up in the Chicago area.

In California the black widow is disappearing and being replace by a brown widow spider. I rarely, if ever see a true "black beauty". But when I do, they get squished just the same.

Found this one today. Is it a Brown Widow?? I live in Southern CA. Looks pretty Black to me. My Blue Flash is starving and my flies aren't here yet it's almost dead. Is it dangerous to feed it to a Mantis?

 

[nicoledougherty]

Well I guess they can she is cleaning her raptors as we speak.........and the Widow is in her belly

There once was a mantis that swallowed a spider, that wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider her,

It's dangerous to feed to her but she survived! That was a black widow.
