Widows up in Canada get about the same size as Widows down south in the US. Large females can have a body about the size of a nickel, front to back, and legs that span a bit less than a quarter if they were fully extended (which they pretty much never are). Most that you'll see are going to be smaller than that, of course, and males are pretty small. Lifespan; as far as I remember, they follow the common spider plan of born in the fall, die in the next fall after laying eggs. I could be wrong - they may be 2-year spiders, but a quick Google should settle that for you.
