LOl, ye but this is also very common with spiders. Males are tiny
females are bigger and dangerous.
" Breeding
Adult male Black Widows wander in search of females but do not feed or bite. Females may occasionally kill and eat a male after mating but this is more the exception than the rule.
The young Black Widows are colored orange and white when they emerge 1 to 4 weeks later. The female Black Widow may live for more than a year and a half. Growth requires 2 to 4 months, depending on availability of prey during which the females molt 6 to 8 times and the males 3 to 6 times. Females mature about 90 days after egg sac emergence and live another 6 months to a year. Males mature about 70 days after emergence and live only another month or two."
Basically it sucks to be a male black widow...
Too much discovery channel for me....
