The black widow is very venomous its bite is 15x stronger than an rattlesnakes.Like all spiders they lay eggs but they lay their eggs in grayish silken balls.Black widows are known to live in barns,garages,basements,rodent holes,stumps,and trash bags.They mostly seek dry places.The widow female is darker than the male the male does not bite.The male is killed by the female after the femal constructs and lays her eggs in the sack.The egg sack contains up to 900 babies!!!After the eggs hatched they live with their mom for a few weeks then they leave just intime to start their own web.
