Spiders: Venom
built 647 days ago
Spiders have two pairs of mouthparts, the chelicerae and the pedipalps. Each chelicera has two segments. The first segment is large and sometimes works like a jaw in crushing prey. The second segment is fang-like and has a small opening near its end for injecting venom into the prey.

Black Widow spiders are not usually deadly, especially to adults, because they inject only a small amount of venom. Bites can range from mild to quite painful; anyone bitten should seek medical attention. An attempt should be made to catch the spider for identification.

If dangerous spiders are present in your area, be mindful when moving cardboard boxes and other such objects that may have become the shelter of a venomous spider. There is no need to be fearful; just do not grab a spider.
