- Found in web?: Yes
- Attributes:
Brown widow, Latrodectus geometricus. They are a cousin to the infamous black widow (L. mactans), and their venom has the same components. However, these spiders are much more timid and inject much less venom than the black widow, so their bites are not dangerous.
