The Black Widow Spider

What a luring web of woe she weaves Enticing her lover for that fatal rendezvous Once they copulate, a male virgin to a corpse A true fact. the male Black Widow Spider only mates one time in his life. Once he mates with the female, then she kills him?? Bummer, but that is how they got their name?

Hi Danny I got chills upon my skin reading this for I know your words are true. The mystic of nature is hard to fathem sometimes. I have this silly fear of spiders but I enjoyed your words of wisdom. Thanks for sharing this with us. Take care Love Light Truth Patricia
