​In Southwest Florida the summer months mean there will be an increase in spider sightings so it is important to know which ones are dangerous.

  • Usually brown and 2 inches in length
  • Non-venomous but will bite
  • No webs. Uses quickness to catch prey

  • Dark brown violin shape on back
  • Dangerous bite that can cause a severe allergic reaction
Black Widow
  • Lives in woodpiles, barns, under decks and in meter boxes
  • Red, hourglass on abdomen
  • Not aggressive but venom is reported to be 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake
Daddy Long Legs

  • Tiny body, thin, long legs
  • Harmless
Spiny Orb Weaver
  • Lives in citrus trees and shrubs
  • Colorful body, six spines on  back
  • Non-poisonous but their egg sacs hold 300 eggs and hatch in two weeks
