Blue-and-Red Widow Spider

The red-and-blue widow spider (Latrodectus oscorpeus) is a patented and genetically modified species of spider of the genus Latrodectus. The original spider from which the red-and-blue widow spider was developed is the western black widow spider (Latrodectus hesperus), indigenous to the western United States. Developed by a yet-unknown group of scientists, the red-and-blue widow spider is a transgenic species, using genes from the highly venomous Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) and a species of wolf spider of the species, Hogna lenta. These genes make the red-and-blue widow spider an aggressive predator with highly toxic venom and the best eye sight of any existing spider species. Although fatal to their prey such as insects and other spiders, the red-and-blue widow spider's venom, just like the Oscorp spider's venom, is believed to have groundbreaking influence on medical science.
