Anatomicaly Black Widows have evolved to build webs and not for jumping.

They are large spiders reaching about 1.5" ,for femailes, the males are half their size, can injects a very powerful neurotoxin, however black widows are very timid spiders and are not known to agressively bite humans. Surprized? http://kaston.transy.edu/widow.html#species
