Highly venomous spider (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

black widow

(Other definitions for black widow that I've seen before include "Web developer" , "Venomous American spider" , "she's usually the bereaver" , "American spider, the female of which eats her mate" , "Leggy creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
