About Black Widow Spiders: Do Females Kill and Eat Their Mates?

Fact: There are a few different species of widow spiders around the world, and some of them do kill their mates, but the black widow you’re likely to see in and around Florida isn’t usually cannibalistic. It does happen, but much of the research on this issue took place in a lab setting, not out in the wild, which may have led to some of the cannibal rumors floating around out these spiders. Most male black widow spiders actually survive to mate multiple times, which means you do not want them around your home or yard!
