In keeping with the recent spider thread trend...
Just did a quick scan of the back patio - 4 Brown Widows present and accounted for (excuse the bad night time photos):






This bitch took down a bigass Wolf Spider in her web. You know you're a badass when you catch other spiders in your web.





They are constantly setting up shop beneath my window sills.

Appropriate defensive measures were taken...

Novice mistake.

Hope you make it out alive.

For starters, those aren't brown widows. They are extremely rare. Unless you squash them they won't bite you.
As I stated in an earlier thread; people need to calm the frick down about spiders and snakes (and possums). All three kill shite that cause humans problems. Anyone here know anyone who has been f'ed by either three of the aforementioned critters?? I bet not. But mosquitoes?? Yep Rats and mice?? Yep. Roaches?? Yep.
Unless it's a black widow leave it alone. If you see a snake; walk away - I swear it's not going to hunt you down. Chances are it's a king snake or a rat snake. The more good snakes you kill; the more bad snakes and rodents you'll have.

ETA all black spiders aren't black widows. They are very distinctive - they look like black patent leather (shiny - no "hair") and their legs are distinctly jointed and very pointed at the ends. They make very ugly, trashy, ghetto webs.

ETAA Bats - bats get a bad rap because in 1964 one person contracted rabies from a bat. Bats eat a shite ton of mosquitoes. I have several bat houses.

Chart is incomplete: does not show what to do with this spider.

The pics are blurry but that monster clearly has the orange mark on the abdomen. Let it crawl on your face if you think it's so harmless.

Even if it is a brown widow; it's not going to crawl on my face. Be realistic. See a spider; walk the frick away. It will eat bed bugs or other nasty shite that crawls in your bed.

I'll do a spider over a bed bug any day of the week.

Brown widows are believed to be aggressive towards black widows. They are also less venomous.

When I was a kid moved into a house in a new subdivision that was surrounded by woods. A few weeks in I found a wolf spider in the hall headed towards my room. Killed it... I hate spiders. Two weeks later found another in about the same spot. Killed it. Slept on the couch for a week. Snakes and rodents don't bother me, but I hate big freaking bugs... especially spiders.
