The Black Widow Spider: Everything You Need To Know!

Perhaps the most feared spider in North America, the black widow spider is famous for its potentially deadly bite. But how dangerous truly are these arachnids, and how can you identify them from a safe distance? Let's find out as we get up close and personal with a black widow spider!

As stated in the video, DO NOT attempt to handle a black widow spider without training. I am a professional biologist and am equipped to safely work with these animals, but like any wild animal spiders can be unpredictable and potentially harmful.

If you enjoyed this video, please be sure to leave a like and maybe even share it with your friends. If you didn't, please leave a comment telling me what I could improve on. For more educational wildlife content, subscribe to my channel. New videos go up on Thursday evenings at 7 PM!

Patreon is gone for now...I wasn't able to keep up with an additional content stream, and want to provide a better experience for my fans. Looking into alternatives now.

If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I am a professional biologist. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.

Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

-Ben Zino
