Black widows?..OMG since when did black widows appear in such
numbers in Singapore?. I dont recall seeing BW when i was
in the bushes for fighting spiders in the late
80s - early 90s
If what u mentioned is true, then the sudden appreance of BWs indicate a change in the eco system perhaps?...all i knew were the Magpie robins and
other birds
migrated out of singapore due to rapid urbanisation and their absence may had resulted in BWs and other larger spiders infesting in huge numbers. In
singapore, the larger spiders natural enemies are
birds
serious! and I didn't go into the jungle.. I used to catch them
at the bushes outside Orchid Country Club.. and that is the area
that have been infested. but it's also a long time since I went
back there.. so.. maybe they cleared it liao.. I cycle past nia my
face kenna web lo.. :(
