Wet Specimen Real Black Widow Spider LATRODECTUS MACTANS Preserved in Vial

cool but I just wish u could see the red hourglass though

Absolutely gorgeous specimen. 🤩

This is decently big its so cool its a bit pricey but its worth it. I can see the hourglass prettu well on mine but its tan

I used this for a D&D game as a magic item prop that called forth a giant spider when used. It was a lot of fun and added a depth to the game and I let the player keep it for the memory of a fun day. Absolutely worth it.

I need to contact Bic Bugs qnd see if theyd be willing to exchange my BROWN black Widow for a BLACK Black Widow... I understand that she ranges in all sorts of shades of black and brown, I do. But, when u are shown a picture on Amazon of the specimens they offer and they show a SHINY, SOLID BLACK FEMALE and there's no mention in the description that, "the color of your exact specimen may vary from the one shown in this picture.",Then u should be given as close to that specimen shown as possible... I have a fiance that has a new infatuation with these spiders. I was really looking forward to being able to offer her a specimen from Bic Bugs as a Christmas gift to her. I received it promptly on the 23rd after being told it could be between January 4-11. It was a solid specimen delivered soaked in formaldehyde (i assume). But after a close initial inspection, i quickly noticed three obvious issues. 1.) The vial it was delivered in was JUNK. 2.) The seal had been broke leaving the liquid contents to seep into the packaging a bit ( a minor loss, tho it may have led to my third problem) and 3.) The BLACK Black Widow they showed in their advertisement, was now dark brown by the time she had reached her destination and without a red hourglass. This may have been the result after the leaking vial though so i hope when I reach out to Bic Bugs that theyre willing to replace this specimen for me. I will update my post as this progresses. The specimen itself though? ABSOLUTELY IMMACULENT!

I was amazed that I could actually receive a real specimen of an actual black widow spider. I wanted to start a new hobby about things I was interested in and viewing all the different specimens on ur site i decided to start an exotic collection of different specimens I've never seen before. Collections have always been a hobby of mines but I never dreamed this could exist

Exactly how I wanted it! I am currently making a hatchet and wanted to drill a cavity through my ebony wood handle and then cast a bug in it and this black widow is perfect! I will cast it with red glow dust particles to give it an awesome look! Unfortunately i ended up with a male widow which has more of an orange tint to it’s hourglass but it is a rather incredible so specimen, and I definitely would recommend to any collector

Late. Had to approve purchase twice before it shipped. Then its just a regular spider. Not worth it. Highly disappointed
