Red Widow Spider
Also known as the red-legged widow, the red widow can be found in Florida. Like our last spider, they are not traditionally aggressive towards humans, but they bit if inside clothes or shoes or when protecting eggs. Once bitten, the victim will feel cramping, pain and even nausea. Fortunately, death is rare since this deadly venom is injected in such small doses. Yet, eldery, sick and children are still at risk of death from the red widow’s bite.

Brown Widow Spider
Found across countries worldwide such as Japan, South Africa, Australia and even part of the US, this spider lives in old tires, among vegetation and inside of buildings. Twice as venomous as our next spider, the brown widow has killed in Madagascar in the nineties. As previous listed spiders, this species is not aggressive and only injects a small amount of its venom. So, maybe my health insurance will do just fine!
