The black widow spider protects itself by utilizing its venomous bite. When threatened, it may inject venom into a predator or perceived threat through its fangs. This venom can be harmful, or even fatal, to other animals, serving as a defense mechanism for the black widow.
A cobra can deliver a lot more venom in its bite than a black widow can and comes into contact with more people in asia, so i would say the cobra is more dangerous. However the black widows venom is reported to be much more toxic than the venom of a cobra but a black widow cant deleiver much venom in its bite as its fangs are too small to usually inject the lethal amount of venom.
The black widow is more venomous than the brown recluse. Black widow venom contains neurotoxins that can cause severe symptoms such as muscle cramps, pain, and in rare cases, death. Brown recluse venom is cytotoxic and can cause tissue damage at the bite site, but is usually less severe than black widow venom.
According to Dr. G.B. Edwards, an arachnologist with the Florida State Collection of Arthropods in Gainesville, the brown recluse venom is twice as potent as black widow venom. However, they do not inject as much venom as a black widow, are very timid, and do not defend their web. So the info below is not truthful.The brown recluse is way more aggressive because they will bite at the sight of anything and black widows will only bite if threatened.
If it's a female Black Widow, you will get debilitating pains, and have a chance of dying if you do not treat it, but fatalities from untreated Black Widow bites are rare and are usually caused from respiratory paralysis. If it's a male Black Widow, it's most likely not going to bite you. The venom of a Black Widow in most cases attack your nerves, which could lead to becoming comatose, seizures, paralysis & death.
A black widow spider bite can lead to intense pain and sometimes a sensation of coldness in the affected area due to the venom spreading through the bloodstream. Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect you have been bitten by a black widow spider.

Black widow spiders are carnivorous and primarily feed on insects such as flies, mosquitoes, beetles, and other spiders. They catch their prey by using their sticky webs to ensnare insects that get caught in them. Once trapped, the black widow spider will bite its prey and inject venom to immobilize and digest it before consuming it.
Because the spider has fangs that penetrate your skin. There is further damage from the venom of the spider destroying the tissue at the location of the bite.
yes it is because if the king cobra injects far more venom in a bite than the black widow, there are utterly preposterous claims that the king cobra bite will kill in 10 seconds, this is utterly untrue, the ONLY way any venom would kill any human in that time span is in the case of an allergic reaction. In fact the King Cobra venom itself while lethal is in it's self not that toxic in comparison to some other snakes, such as the inland tiapan or the black/eastern green/ western green mamba, the danger is the sheer quantity of venom in a bite, 1 king cobra bite injects enough venom to kill 22 fully grown men.
