One-On-One Battle: Black Widow Spider vs. Scorpion

Let me begin by saying that the scorpion is a common prey of the highly virulent Black Widow spider. However, in most cases the Black Widow spider exhibits timid behavior, and will attempt to escape; rather than attack.

Scorpions exhibit photo-phobic behavior, primarily to evade detection by predators. Although the scorpion has a fearsome reputation as venomous, pest control specialists have recorded only 25 species, that have venom capable of killing a human.
