The Toymany Black Widow Spider features detailed sculpting, glossy black coloring, and bold red markings for a realistic and striking display piece.
The Toymany Black Widow Spider measures: 3” L x 2.6” W x 0.6” H
The Toymany Black Widow Spider figurine captures the species’ distinctive appearance with a glossy black body and clearly painted red markings on the abdomen. The sculpt emphasizes the rounded abdomen and segmented legs, giving the model a lifelike profile. Surface texturing adds subtle realism, especially across the abdomen and cephalothorax, where slight ridging mimics the look of a real spider’s exoskeleton.
The legs are individually shaped and slightly varied in position, creating a natural stance rather than a flat, static pose. The paint application is clean, with strong contrast between the black body and red markings. Made from durable material, the figure holds its shape well and feels solid in hand, making it suitable for educational use, display, or imaginative play focused on arachnids rather than insects.
Black widow spiders belong to the genus Latrodectus and are found in many parts of the world, including North America. In the United States, the most common species are the southern, western, and northern black widows. Females are glossy black with red markings on the abdomen, while males are smaller and lighter in color. The female’s venom is neurotoxic and primarily used to subdue insect prey such as flies, beetles, and caterpillars.
Black widows prefer sheltered, undisturbed areas such as woodpiles, sheds, crawl spaces, and outdoor debris. Their webs are irregular and tangled rather than symmetrical like those of orb-weaving spiders. Although their bite can cause pain, muscle cramping, and other symptoms, fatalities are rare with modern medical treatment. Black widows are generally non-aggressive and will bite only when threatened or accidentally disturbed.
