Brown widows, scientifically known as Latrodectus geometries, are primarily found in the southern and western United States. They are commonly located in California, Florida, and parts of the southeastern U.S. These Spiders prefer warm climates and often inhabit areas like gardens, garages, and sheds, where they can find shelter and prey. Their range has been expanding, so sightings in other states may become more common.

Black widows are shiny black with a red hourglass shape on their abdomen, while brown recluse spiders are light to dark brown with a violin-shaped marking on their back. Black widows are known for their venomous bite, which can be harmful to humans, while brown recluse spiders are also venomous but their bites are less common and usually less severe.
