Black widow spiders are comb footed spiders that are not only notorious but can also kill their mates after mating. They live in temperate parts of the world and has venom that is fifteen times stronger than a rattlesnake's. Sometimes after killing their mates they eat their counterparts, they use their bristle in hind legs o cover their mates with silk. To get an idea on what the black male widow spiders feel, a female widow spider can cause nausea and muscle ache to humans. That is why they are considered one of North America's most notorious spiders.
The theme survival of the fittest can be switched to gender power when mating comes to play in that specific specie. After mating in a macabre behavior the female can possibly kill the male. in other specie the male has to survive for the upbringing of the offspring while the mother hunts for food. Males are considered the dominant gender, where they are seem to be vigorous and decide the gender of the offspring. Now we see something different in this specie, where the female is more aggressive than the male. Maybe dating in the human world is not as bad as it seems now.
Where one wrong move might not get you a second date but a black widow spider might get killed. It is interesting to learn of something different in another specie compared to other species of this planet.
