Button Spiders<br />
Commonly known as Widow Spiders<br />
(Latrodectus), Button Spiders in Africa,<br />
and Black Widow Spiders in South<br />
Africa, these comparatively small<br />
spiders (1.3 cm / 0.51” in body length)<br />
pack an unusually potent venom.<br />
Female widow spiders have large<br />
venom glands and their bite can be<br />
particularly painful. Only the bites <strong>of</strong> the<br />
females are dangerous to humans. When<br />
a widow spider is trapped, it’s unlikely to<br />
bite, preferring to play dead or flick silk at the<br />
potential threat; bites occur only when they<br />
cannot escape.<br />
