What sort of murderous creature is a 'black widow'?

1.27cm not 12.7cm that would be a big spider

They are not “murderous”. They bite to defend themselves against what they perceive to be a threat. Labelling an animal as a bloodthirsty monster is only going to worsen people’s opinions on an already hated creature.

murderous? Hardly. That terminology promotes fear of spiders. They are interesting and useful creatures and rarely attack if they are left alone.

that spider is the worst one I know of.

NEVER kill a wolf spider !! They eat black widows and brown recluses but are harmless to humans, they are also very intelligent and can dance.

i dont like spiders

My cousin used to ask me what spider would I be scared of if it came around the most. I said a tarantula and she always said a black widow ha!

Please don’t call an insect “murderous” and correct your unit conversion from inch to cm. 1/2 inch is 12.7 mm or 1.27 cm.

I picked up a cantaloupe in a grocery store once, and there was a black widow on the other side of it.

Murderous creature. Really??? That is ridiculous.
