A while back someone had some pics of a white widow for which I had saved on my computer. I lost the pics after my computer crashed. I know that was stupid.
I have a presentation to give in a couple of weeks on spiders and snakes and wanted the pics to show that there are not only black widows but red, brown and white as well so if you can help, please!
Thanks
Spiderfoot :eek:

So, then, the venom of the white widows is similarly toxic to the other types of widows (excluding the southern widow, which has somewhat more toxic venom)? Is that right? Also, I can't see in the pics, but does the white widow have a red hourglass or any red markings on the underside of her abdomen?

You are in Florida? I thought from the info on the white widow sites that it wasn't located in any of the States? :? What Have you Got there?!


From emedicine.com:

"Widow spiders belong to the genus Latrodectus and include the black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans mactans) in the United States. The term widow spider is used because not all species in the genus Latrodectus are black. Other widow spiders in North America include the brown widow (Latrodectus geometricus), the red-legged widow (Latrodectus bishopi), Latrodectus variolus, and Latrodectus hesperus. The redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) is endemic to Australia. Latrodectus mactans tredecimguttatus and Latrodectus pallidus are found in Europe and South America, and the button spider (Latrodectus indistinctus) is found in South Africa. "

(The link is: http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/byname/spider-envenomations-widow.htm )

Are you in Florida or are you in Brazil?
