Redback/Black Widow Systems as progenitors of the highest neutron star masses and low-mass Black Holes

Abstract
We suggest in this note that "spider" systems are the naturally expected progenitors of the highest neutron star masses, and possibly low-mass black holes, based on their long-term evolutionary features and actual mass measurements.
