Description
Here's my traditional drawing of the notorious Black Widow, the most venomous spider of North America. The female is easily recognizable by its glossy black body and red hourglass marking on the underside of its abdomen. The spider is 15 times more venomous than a rattlesnake but deaths from Black Widow spider bites are rare unless it's the children or elderly. An anti-venom is available to treat envenomated bites.
