Spiders are the #1 fear for a large population of people around the world. We are often taught from an early age that spiders found in the house are quickly snuffed out with a napkin or a paper towel, for fear of what they might do when we take our eyes off of them.
In countless horror movies (usually crapfest movies, but still) spiders are the main antagonists, killing countless people as a sneaky venom monster or as a giant tarantula the size of a car that runs around trying to wrap people up in webs so that they can munch on them later (we’re looking at you Frodo and Ron Weasley).
Jokes aside, spiders really aren’t all that dangerous, and a stunning minority of spiders (even counting the giant tarantulas) aren’t a threat to humans at all. Still, there are a handful of species which have caused our deep dark fears in the first place, and these spiders can have bites that range from a painful inconvenience to a terrifying death sentence.
In fact, take a look at some of the most deadly critters on the next page.

Maria Jovita Mosley read this
Just so you know, after clicking the article I read an into and the had to click to the next page. The first link in the article was violin, which was a description of an attachment of the recluse spiders’ leg. After clicking the word violin to read how they were describing it, it opened up a site with information about yeast infections. Because of this, I don’t trust websites like this and won’t be reading anymore of your material that I have to click on.
Just found this girl in NW Indiana.
Everybody Gets A Leg!!!
Well$#%&!@*!!
Why post click bait? Is the fraction of a penny per click worth it?
Supposedly daddy long legs are the most poisonous but they cannot bite us
Willow Stallcup if that grabby spider doesn’t work out, here is a partial list of our other available models.
I love them all.
You guys are nothing but click bait, no longer following your page.
Dady Long Leg…
The entomologist from osu only mentioned the fiddle back and black widow as the only venomous spiders in North America
Def more than that in the us for poisonous spiders sir!! Check out a nasty little spider called the violin spider.

The black widow spider is “only” fatal to people with compromised immune systems. Mainly elderly and young children. If bitten it can be treated with fever reducers, muscle relaxers, and anxiety medication.

Brown Recluse is definitely in the U.S.
I got bit when I was 17 in the crook of my arm, it got weirdly puffy numb and itchy, and I felt a bit down for a few days, but not horrid as everyone assumes.
#3 The Hobo spider picture is incorrect. The picture is that of a wolf spider.

Go to hell Bobby Holliman
I’m sorry I kill anything that even closely resembles a brown recluse! The rest I can tolerate
Every spider is venomous. The difference between “dangerous” spiders and harmless is the ability to puncture your skin.
Ok I just know if you get bit by certain spiders in Washington you are fkt I did lot’s of under house work and they can mess up your plans for the rest of the week
Brown recluse spiders are all over North America
Yeah they are.. the reason I hate spiders. . Worst$#%&!@*whooping I ever had
Brown recluse and fiddle back are the same spider depending on where your from is what you call it.
The old granddaddy long leg!!
And wolf
Don’t care about color of spider, any spider is dead if it gets near me.

Not true. Most spiders venom just isn’t potent enough to harm humans.

There is a special place in hell for you, Chet.
I’ll keep it warm for you.
Brown recluse sick. The bite can open up for years after

Josh King Clayton Drew

Got bit by a sac spider 2 weeks ago, on the fingetip, hurt like a bee sting. Now there’s a raised red spot, mosquito looking spot there. And it is sore when I touch it. I live in western NY and see them everwhere
Wolf spiders aren’t poisonous though lol
Wolf spiders are grass spiders they are hunters
Daddy long legs are the most venomous right? They just can’t puncture our skin.
Daddy long leg venom can kill a human
Elizabeth Ann Smith Cross here’s some identifying pictures for spiders.
