For that reason it will be} wise for humans to know the! black widow and beware. | One of its first acts after reach- | ing maturity is to attack its mate, kill and eat him, which is jest an- other sudstantiation of the old fold story of the feraale of the; species being more deadly than! the mace. While working among his coco- nut trees yesterday, Pau! Ladd, j isupervisor on WPA projects, found j Jone of these deadly insects and {placed it in a bottle. Later on, | Leo Warren, head of the aateey department, brought it to The! \Citizen office where it now is. | | The black widow is usually | {marked by one or more sma!l red {spots on the dorsal surface, while the ventral surface carries a red jmarking shaped like cn hour } glass. The one in this office is perfectly marked. antennae and two pincers. It is! through these pincers that the -poicon is deposited. One of the! | Scientists, Blair, who has made a! istudy of the black widow describes } the following sensations following ‘its bite: | “The first sensation resembles ; ‘the prick of a very sharp needle, | and was accompanied by a burning tsity during the biting period.| ‘Within a few minutes the finger ‘felt hot and throbbed with pain. : “The symptoms deve'op much! jMore rapidly than they do follow- ing the bite of other insects and jrertiles.
