Black Widow Spider vs. Brown Recluse Spider




The majority of spiders found in the US are harmless. The two most common exceptions are the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider, which are both dangerous to humans. The black widow and brown recluse spiders are more common in the southern states of the US and prefer warm, dry climates as well as undisturbed areas such as basements, closets, woodpiles, attics, or under sinks.
