Although black widow spiders induce panic and fear in most humans, their extinction may have negative effects on the ecosystem and human environments. Fortunately, black widow spiders are not currently at risk of extinction.
The web of the black widow serves as a trap for its prey. Through their feeding habits, black widow spiders play an active ecological role by controlling insect populations. Black widows prey upon pests, such as flies and mosquitoes, as well as crop destroyers, such as locusts and grasshoppers.
