Instead of hanging in a web waiting for unsuspecting insects, our Hidden Kingdom Black Widow Spider is waiting for a home. These astonishing spiders paralyze prey trapped in their webs with powerful venom and then liquefy their flesh with digestive juices. Although their venom is 15 times more poisonous than a rattlesnake's, their painful bites are usually not deadly to humans because they inject such a small amount. This replica is soft to touch and features a blood-red hourglass on its belly. It is part of the Hidden Kingdom Collection, which includes oversized replicas for closer inspections, especially useful for inquisitive young eyes. While the Safari Ltd Hidden Kingdom Black Widow Spider is bigger than a real black widow, it is still terrifyingly realistic. Life-like, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it! Product measures 7”L x 4.7”W x 2”H. For ages 3 and up.
