Black Widow Spiders

Female black widow spiders are easily recognizable by the red hourglass marking on their underside. (Males are much smaller and have different markings.)

Rather than building traditional webs, they construct more of a messy net from which they hang upside-down. Unlike some spiders that spin new webs every day, black widows work on their nests for long periods of time, adding and expanding as it gets bigger.

You are more likely to see black widows in the evenings and at night as they are nocturnal spiders, though it is still possible to see them during the day.

Their bites are quite painful and can be hazardous for children, the elderly and others with compromised immune systems. However, black widows are not aggressive spiders so you don’t have to worry about them attacking you – most bites happen when somebody surprises a black widow by accident.

Keep an eye out for black widows along the edges of your house and in the corners of your property, especially if your home is close to Broomfield Commons or The Field.
