Market For Black And White: Although the big money in calendars lies in color trans¬parencies, calendar publishers offer a good market for black and white pictures, as well. Subject matter desired in black and white is the same as in color. Payment for a black and white shot is only about a tenth of the price for color, but that still is high enough to be profitable.

On The Other Hand See The Black Widow:The black widow spider is often called the hourglass spider be¬cause of the red mark on the abdomen. Again it may be called the shoe button spider because of the shape of the shiny, black abdomen. Black widow is the most common name and the one most generally used.
In the wild, black widow feeds on a large variety of insects, many of them pests. Give live flies, bees, wasps, beetles, small grasshoppers, crickets, and any other insects available (see Part III). Place one insect at a time in jar. Disturb spider by tapping on lid; this causes it to drop to bottom of jar and delay feeding; quickly drop insect in and screw on lid. Warning—Black widow does not readily bite, but for the sake of safety, only an experienced adult should feed it.
