The Brown Widow

The pictures above are of the brown widow.  The female is on top and a male on bottom. Unlike the black widows the egg sacs will appear to have spurs, or spiked. This species however are known to reproduce and infest houses very quickly in large numbers. Like all widows they make a messy web, are shy and are of course venemous.  Its scientific name is latrodectus Geometricus.



This species is found everywhere except the polar regions..


Even though the LD50 of this spiders venom is only .09 mg/kg making it 45 less than that of its cousin the black widow (.002mg/kg) it is still dangerous to both children and elderly

i don't mind these kind of spiders. as long as they stay in there webs.

With widows, they are shy and will run away whenever they can.

i figured as much.
