While trying to identify this puppy who's taken up residence by our front door's plants, I found this great photos of poisonous spiders...always a good visual reminder for us gardeners...for more info & photos please visit the source.

Thanks for posting these, I knew about the Black & Brown Widows but didn't know about the others. We've had both black & brown on our back porch... I'll keep an eye out for the others.
You are welcome! The link I posted has the clearest photos I could find online...are you serious? you have widows on your porch??? yikes! I am very respectful of anything that can give me an allergic reaction...or...kill me :-) I am allergic to bees and ants bites...stay away from your porch! ☺
