Latrodectus Pallidus is more commonly known as the white widow spider. Unlike others in the widow spider Lactrodectus genus, the white widow spider exhibits an inate structured intelligence that measures at the highest scale for insects, second only to the praying mantis!

The white widow's venum is the strongest of the entire Arachnida class of insects, let alone the Latrodectus genus, and toxicology studies have reported that the venom of the white widow is similar in structure to L. tredecimguttatus.
