They create webs that are irregular in shape and are normally found in holes in order to ensnare preys. The black widow would normally dwell in places that remained undisturbed by humans. Woodpiles, fences, some unchecked fallen debris from construction are also amongst the most favorite dwelling places of the black widow. Toilets can be surprisingly a black widow's dwelling place (you better watch where you poop). Black widows are not normally aggressive. They don't bite the hell out of you just because they want to. The only time they attack and bite humans is when their web is disturbed. Normally this is a sign that a prey just got entrapped, but when humans disturb their web, they see it as life threatening, and they bite in order to defend themselves.

The bitten part would normally swell in red. The bite would induce neurotoxins that will cause tremendous pain in the bite area and then eventually the pain will spread out to the person's chest, abdomen and then the entire body. To some the neurotoxins may not be that fatal and the paralysis can be treated granting there is proper medical process. However, people who have heart problems already can progress to certain complications which could result to death.
