The Smithsonian is a wonderful resource for just about anything you could imagine. If you go make sure you leave yourself a lot of time. The museum is huge, I went there for my tenth grade class trip. They gave us four hours and I looked for information on the black widow spider but due to the shear size of the museum and the fact that I was without a map made it imposible. This is a great museum just leave yourself a day or two for your visit.The Smithsonian web page

- How do black widow spiders get their name? Females black widow spiders are shiny black when full grown. Since the females commonly eat their mate after mating (as do many other spiders) they often are widows.
