The World's Deadliest Remote Controlled Spider!

The Black Widow Spider or Latrodectus Mactans has a chilling appearance and reputation. It is one of the world's most infamous deadly creatures. Its venom is 15 times more potent than that of a rattlesnake! More people have died from being bitten by a Black Widow than from any other spider!

The female Black Widow is much bigger than the male and occasionally eats her mate! Black with the trademark red hour-glass figure and accurate longer front and back pairs of legs - it's just like the real thing! Great for scaring your friends!

I got this for my brother at xmas. He put the spider in the living room and stood in the bedroom...As his wife and daughter walked in - he moved it using the remote and boy did they scream!!! All members of the family have been scared by this - and now it keeps guard of anything...beer, chocs etc...Its a great laugh

 disappointing

Over-sized with a very noisy motor, there is not a chance of this spider 'sneaking' up on anyone for scary fun!
