How Many Offspring Can Black Widows Produce?

There are many spiders that inflict fear in humans, but not many are as
horrifying as black widows. Female black widows are large spiders that
are almost completely black except for a red hourglass figure on their
bodies. These dangerous spiders should only
be handled by a spider exterminator who can examine and destroy a spider’s nest in Crystal Lake with
guaranteed results. Watch this National Geographic video to learn more
about black widow spiders’ nests and their offspring.
Once a male black widow spider has fertilized a female, she will lay sacks
full of eggs in her spider nest. She can lay up to five sacks that are
each filled with 200 eggs. Within two weeks, the eggs will begin to hatch,
and up to 1,000 black widow spider babies will emerge. To prevent a spider
infestation, call a professional spider exterminator whenever a black
widow is spotted.
