I have always been warned of the Black Widow because I live in Florida. I grew up in South Florida, but now reside in North Florida. A few weeks ago my husband was doing some cleaning around our porch and came in to tell he had found dozens of Black Widows under the porch. Now our porch/deck is about 4 ft. off the ground so it's easy to get under. He said not to worry and that he had taken care of them all. I didn't think anything of it. That was until a week ago when I was doing some rearranging of the furniture to start preparing for the holidays. We have a heater that resembles a fireplace and I started to move it to the opposite side of the room. I found many spiderwebs and noticed the eggsacks myself, 10 to be exact. I brought my husband in and showed him, he said they were black widows. I had to correct him because I've seen Black Widows nests before. We got rid of them of course, but looked it up to find out what they really were. Brown Widows!! I have 2 young children and I freak out when a mosiquito bites them- my some suffers from severe allergies. Well we found 27 more eggsacks in the front doorway taht we never use. I opened it up to let some fresh air in the house 2 days ago and there they all were- all 27 of them and at least 4 spiders. I live in the middle of nowhere. Heavily wooded so we get all kinds of creatures here. I've had bats in the house. My husband had to remove a opposum from the house as well as a small raccoon. We found out that when they made the hole for a 2 inch pipe in the kitchen a 12 inch hole and never sealed it. So we've had some excitement around here. Not to mention the 6 and 5 ft. rattlers we discovered at the bottom of our porch one day, but that's been about 2 yrs. ago. It’s really interesting.

For the most part it looks like they curl up and die but I'm afraid of how many I haven't found and what to do if they get into the house or live in the closets. I don't know if have the house tented is a safe thing for us since we have two young children but I'm really tempted.

Was courious to learn about the unusal markings, because we are use to seeing the traditional black widows in this area. Not bitten, just found a brown widow spider in Tustin, CA (Orange County).

One day she had caught a small lizard. The lizard was easily 3 inches long. That tells you how fast their venom can work. I just caught a brown widow that was out on the patio. I am about to let her go. Most people squish spiders. I am not Buddhist but I'm not taking any chances with my karma.

Only once have I seen a black widow in my lifetime but I hear a lot of people tell me they have seen them around the apartment complex I live in. The one I saw though was at least twice as large as the ones I'm seeing in the pictures on this site. No Kidding! It was a black widow because of it being so large, when it got to close to the edge of it's web, it flipped upside down on the web hanging on the underneath. That's when I saw the red hourglass figure. I live in Ky.
