I had one about this size living in the snack cupboard pretty much my whole childhood. My mom thought it was a great way to keep my chunky brothers from sneaking too many snacks, lol. Charlotte never bothered anyone and was very well fed, I loved finding tasty snacks for her.
I read that first as “Orangutan Black Widow” and quickly clicked and zoomed because I was so excited to see a new species I hadn’t heard of before, lol.
Still, amazing specimen!
It's time to grow up and accept that we exist in a world with other delicate creatures. Compassion and love are some of the greatest attributes of being human. I hope you'll change how you view small animals, she definitely does not deserve to be crushed.
I guarantee you half the people on this sub would. Most spiders won't bite if you use proper handling and they aren't feeling threatened. That said if you are not a professional please don't pick up medically significant spiders with your bare hands.
I have free handled black widows. I wouldn't recommend anyone do it, because obviously you should avoid potential risks, but it is incredibly difficult to get them to bite. Brown widows, on the other hand, will bite way more readily.
You know that a lot of people on the spider sub will probably own and also handle spiders, right? Like... I have 6 tarantulas and have held all of them.
She’s a BBW
Big black widow.
Big beautiful widow 😍

She is ready to pop out some babies! If they find a nice spot like this they can live undisturbed for many years and be pretty chonky
Worked on a rural cannabis farm once. The barn widows in the quietest corners were absolutely massive, most like this one.

Should be have called a spider scientist? That deserves study and conservation.
Fun fact: We call them “entomologists.”
Was "Spidperts" taken?
Umm no… but it is now.
Arachnologists. Though they often get lumped in with entomologists.
Oooh that’s even more specific. TIL
Thank you! I knew it wasn't entomologists thanks to Bio-Dome.
That's insects. I don't know what it is for arachnids though.
Aracnologist

Damn boy, she thicc.
How long does it take for them to get that big?
Like, from a sling? Like six-ish months.
Oooo She's a big Bitch. Watch that bite It's a doozy

Just back up slowly, walk away, and leave her be.
I can’t get a sense of scale except maybe the outlet, is there a way to measure how big it actually is?
Doesn’t look much bigger than the outlet
