  • David Attenborough faces off against a black widow spider, one of Australia's most deadly creatures!
    Latrodectus is a broadly distributed genus of spiders with several species that are commonly known as the true widows. This group is composed of those often loosely called black widow spiders, brown widow spiders, and similar spiders
    From David Attenborough's Micro Monsters: Over the course of three episodes, Sir David Attenborough takes viewers deep into the world of bugs. Pioneering macroscopic techniques allow Attenborough to explore in unparalleled detail the intricate, sophisticated behaviours of fascinating creatures and the complexity of the environments they build and inhabit, in a world normally hidden from the human eye. Each of the three episodes explore a different aspect of the little-known lives of insects, from the deceptive defensive mechanisms harboured by spiders and scorpions, to the creation of colonies and how social arrangements develop.

    This is supposed to be a nature channel where I would expect some educational intention exists. Using a title with “black widow” for a video featuring red backs is misleading and will undoubtedly lead to some viewers being confused.
    Apart from the red stripe, red backs are a quarter of the size of a black widows and the little males are brown compared to the black male black widows. Black widows are more aggressive while red backs are passive. Redbacks like to live around people, black windows prefer more space... Plus they primarily live in different parts of the world.

      @@newfee1967 their venom is nowhere near a bee's. The ld50 of bees is about 2.8 to 3.5 which is pretty toxic, the Southern black widow is 1.9 which is significantly more. Black widows also have a nuerotoxin and being bit will result in what is most likely the worst pain of your life. Nothing is actually wrong with your body since the venom yield is so low but it's extremely painful and will be felt for days. Its also almost unheard-of to be allergic to black widow venom or any spider for that matter. Yes, they are safe, but they don't compare to a bee in the slightest.
