The Black Widow (Latrodectus), belonging to the family Theridiidae, is a relatively small spider found in various regions around the world. Known for the potent venom in its glands, which contains neurotoxins capable of causing intense pain in humans, this species rarely poses a threat unless provoked. The females, larger than the males, build webs in dark, secluded areas where they wait for their prey, usually insects, to become trapped in the sticky silk. Their behavior is generally solitary, and their diet consists of small invertebrates, which they immobilize with their venom.
The Asian Wasp (Vespa orientalis) is a species of hymenoptera belonging to the family Vespidae. It is distinguished by its large size and reddish coloration with yellow markings. This predatory insect primarily feeds on other invertebrates, being capable of hunting insects like bees and caterpillars to feed its larvae. Its venom has properties that allow it to not only defend itself from potential predators but also paralyze its prey. Vespa orientalis colonies are hierarchical, with a queen at the top, and they build their nests in cavities or underground, protected from the elements.
