Background
When Spidey battled the Shade in the Astral Plane, he strayed from the path, which Doctor Strange had warned him not to. As a result, the Spider-Wasp, a mystical predator sensed his presence and tracked him down to our plane. Spider-wasps are natural enemies of spiders, the most efficient spider-killers in the Marvel Universe. They track down large spiders, sting them, and then drag their sorry paralised rears to a previously built nest, where they lay (usually only) one egg inside the spider's body. The larger the species, the larger the captured spider needs to be (yes, they catch tarantulas). When the larva is born, it has some nice, juicy living food to sustain it. The spider lasts as long as it is needed.

After a quick fight, from which Peter fled, Shathra went to the press, under a human form, and told them she was Spider-Man's lover, told them about Spidey's insatiable appetite for sex and kinky habits (of which we cannot know anything about), lied about his honesty, said he used to make fun of the other heroes, and almost reveled his identity before an enraged Spider-Man crashed in the studio and attacked her live on TV. That's what she wanted, an enraged Spider to feed to her children. She reverted to her true form (still on live TV, showing that she was an untrustworthy source), and the fight continued in the streets, with Peter being poisoned and seeking refuge in a spider exibit. Shathra was unable to track him among so many spiders, so Peter was safe from her, but dying from the poison.
Ezekiel Sims found him and took him to a temple in Ghana, to where Shathra followed. There Peter was able to remain focused enough to battle Shathra, who was engulfed by a swarm of spiders and dragged into a pit before Peter could do anything. When Pete asked Ezekiel what had happened, he said Peter had stunned her and weakened her enough for them... "The food chain goes both ways, you know".
Note: Shathra is an Arabic name, which means little pieces of gold.
