does anyone know if the male black widow is poisonus like the female ? equal, less or not at all?

Answer 1

The male and female have identical venom. However, the male is much smaller, and therefore can inject much less venom and not as deeply as the female.

Answer 2

"Only the female Black Widow is dangerous to humans; males and juveniles are harmless. Black Widow is considered the most venomous spider in North America. The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the venom of the prairie rattlesnake. Black Widow spiders are not usually deadly, especially to adults, because they inject only a small amount of venom."

"Of all spiders, the Black Widow is the most feared. The female’s venom is especially poisonous to people. Despite its reputation, this spider often attempts to escape rather than bite, unless it is guarding an egg mass or if it is cornered and pressed. The male black widow will not bite you."
