Black Widow Spider
The black widow is the most venomous spider in North America. Identified by its shiny black body and distinctive red hourglass marking on the underside of its abdomen, black widows are found across the southern and western United States — and increasingly throughout the Midwest and Northeast.
Black widow venom is a neurotoxin that causes severe muscle cramping, intense pain, nausea, sweating, and in serious cases — particularly in children and the elderly — can cause life-threatening complications. Black widows prefer dark, sheltered areas including woodpiles, garages, sheds, under outdoor furniture, and inside shoes left outdoors. A black widow found on your property requires immediate professional treatment.
