BITE RISK
Although the bite of a widow spider is much feared, the widow spiders are generally nonaggressive and will retreat when disturbed. Bites usually occur when a spider becomes accidentally pressed against the skin of a person when putting on clothes or sticking their hands in recessed areas or dark corners. According to Dr. G.B. Edwards, an arachnologist with the Florida State Collection of Arthropods in Gainesville, the brown widow venom is twice as potent as black widow venom. However, they do not inject as much venom as a black widow, are very timid, and do not defend their web. The brown widow is also slightly smaller than the black widow.

To my knowledge only one species of venomous spider in the New England region.. brown recluse, maybe its nicknames the brown widow though. Only other venomous things around here would be there RARE occasion of a eastern diamondback(timber rattlesnake)....thanks to this thread i will be sleeping COMPLETELY under the covers tonight at age 20!
