I'm not sure but I'm guessing they do. On the site where I got that pic it says that they don't make webs, they hunt! The one my cat was trying to get hissed at her. I swear it did.

I love that thing! I want one! I have black widows in my backyard and that thing would decimate the population back there. Can black widows kill you? Or are they not that poisonous?

Black Widows are one of two evil poisonous spiders in Texas. They can kill you but most people have a 'necrotic' reaction to the venom, meaning that the venom kills and eats the skin around the bite.... quickly too. And it spreads.

That is not real. At least it better not be.

Look at the size of his eye!!! Freaky looking fish washes up on Oregon beach
A strange and rare discovery in Oregon was puzzling marine scientists Monday. A nearly six foot long King-of-the-Salmon washed up on the beach. An aquarium worker measures King-of-the-Salmon that washed up on the beach near Seaside. It’s a member of the Ribbonfish family normally found 1,600 below the surface of the ocean, from Alaska to Baja and along the coast of Chile. They can grow up to, and possibly exceed six feet.
Keith Chandler, of the Seaside Aquarium, says it’s the first time he’s seen one wash up on an Oregon beach in his 27 year marine science career. He says he’s not sure what kind of conditions could’ve brought the creature up this far above its normal environment.
“The name King-of-the-Salmon originated from an Indian legend which describes the fish as the ‘king’ who leads salmon back to the rivers to spawn,” said Tiffany Booth, of the Seaside Aquarium. “They’re rarely seen, but fishermen have been known to catch them both in nets and on line. The adults eat squid and juvenile rockfish.”
The fish is currently frozen at the Seaside Aquarium.

An enormous spider web has been found at Lake Tawakoni State Park, Texas, US. It is not the work of one giant spider - rather, millions of small ones have been spinning away and now it is twice the size of a football field. Park rangers are not sure why the spiders have joined forces - they describe it as a rare occurrence. Texas A&M University entomologist Professor John Jackman told Associated Press that there were reports of similar webs every couple of years. The web covers a 180m (590ft) stretch of trees and shrubs in the park. Although it was initially described as "fairy-tale" white, it has turned brown from all the mosquitoes caught in its trap. Experts say the web is either the work of social cobweb spiders that work together, or it has been created by spiders spreading out from a central point. The park superintendent, Donna Garde, has invited arachnid and insect specialists to the park to study it first-hand. Rangers said they expected the web to last until the autumn, when the spiders will start dying off. Ewwwwww, I want to check that out! These guys story has made it all the way over here. There was a write up in this mornings paper about the web and how the spiders have rebuilt it 3 times because the rain and wind have damaged it.
