Are you as excited as we are for the upcoming Black Widow movie? We thought we'd take a fun tangent from that and talk about the inspiration for the character's name: the Black Widow Spider. We decided to bring in our friend Liberty Hightower from the Virginia Museum of Natural History to talk about these fascinating arachnids. We cover everything from their over-hyped venomous bite to why they have that bright red marking. Enjoy!
