So let me get this straight, you deliberately hatched a widow eggsac in a jar, and deprived the young of any food, so that they had to resort to cannibalism? This seems a little, for lack of a better term, cruel? Was I also to understand, from an earlier post that you placed one female widow and two males on your entertainment center in the hopes that they would congregate and build webs in your house? Maybe you're just posting to get attention, in which case I hope that my response has helped you achieve your ambition, but if your moniker is any indication of the type of drugs you've been taking, I might have a little insight as to where you're coming from.

Posting to get response omg who isnt and the fact that you think i'm a loner and drugs grabed a hold on my life is untrue, you have no insights what soever and you cant judge a book by its cover plus im drug-free. And yes i have much ambition than lackness to my achieve goals.About grouping widows in my house was base in one pacticular location entertainment center it did a matter of fact built a length of 6 feet web it was just a stupid research of mines and have no plans of doing it again.Cruel isnt the work there similar topics of babies hunting each other.

I hope that the moderators/entomologists that frequent this board don't assume that my continuation of this argument indicates any disrespect towards the forum. "METH", if you don't mind me calling you that, what exactly are you trying to say? I hate to dissect your post like this, but what do you mean by, "And yes i have much ambition than lackness to my achieve goals". If you are using some kind of translation software, I can empathize, but, "Cruel isnt the work there similar topics of babies hunting each other.", doesn't make much sense. In a natural setting, yes, it is probable that a young spider will eat one of its fellow hatchlings, but it will also have the option of acquiring other insects. If wild spiders exclusively ate each other, and the resulting offspring was a single spiderling, I would suspect that arachnids would be wholly eradicated within a few generations. I would also be interested in knowing what sort of data you were able to derive from your Black Widow "research" project.

i wouldnt have the solution than you, im just a hobbyist of favoring Black Widow Spider and giving tips from past observing them on my own caution, but this week im trying to obtain a 1.3 megapixel camera for my mid-adult to share with.
