Orb-weaver or garden spiders are generally large, with bodies l/2 to 1 inch long. They often have conspicuous black, white, yellowish or orange markings. These common spiders are often seen in late summer or fall. They are able to construct large, conspicuous webs with a central hub from which spokes radiate. All this is constructed in less than an hour. The female sits in the hub, waiting to detect movement that signals prey has been captured. After mating, the female seeks a protected place to lay a cluster of eggs, some 300?800, which will hatch the following spring.

Black widow spiders are usually not aggressive. If disturbed, they will retreat to a corner of their web. These spiders are more aggressive if they are protecting an egg sac. The natural habitat of a black widow is outdoors, under rocks, brush or piles of debris. Indoors, these spiders can usually be found behind furniture, in storage boxes, etc.

How do spiders lay their eggs? Do the males fight with the females? How hard do they bite? How do they make their webs? How big do they get? How do they wrap the bugs that they eat?
Source:
Individual exposed spiders can be killed with a nonresidual aerosol spray, but any egg sacs will be unaffected. It generally is best to use a vacuum cleaner so that the egg sac is removed from the premises.
