Artist's notes:
 This
was the first non-tarantula spider I had drawn. I wasn't
sure how it would look, because Black Widows are basically
all black except for the 'hourglass' red markings on the
abdomen. I got a little creative with the highlights and
had some fun with the web. I think it turned out fairly
well.

Information about the Black Widow Spider:
The Black Widow Spiders are found in many areas of North
America. They are famous for their venom - which is more
potent than that of many poisonous snakes such as the cobra.
Contrary to popular belief, the males are not always consumed
after mating, but it does often happen. The spiders have
been accidentally introduced into Sweden and Denmark and
have established themselves in those areas.
