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.

My boyfriend absolutely loves this thing! But, there is something most of you don't know is the genders. Females have the red hourglasses while the males have a orange/ brownish kind. This is small but the fact it is beyond well preserved and was token care of even in the packaging we will probably buy more. It's a definite buy for people who like spiders or collect odd things. Thank you!

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

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