Absolutely. The Australian Red Back is a 'cousin' if you could say to the Black Widow and while VERY rare to have even been listed as a reported danger to the public, they are in North Carolina. I am on MCAS Cherry Point and have seen these spiders (specifically summer to fall) more places than I've seen just plain widows. I've killed many at my friends house and they were no less than obviously Australian Red Backs. The next time I find one, I no questions asked, would BAG IT and take it to your nearest Game Warden or Forest Rangers building. Why? Because it has gone un-reported that these spiders roam NC let alone this country and are gravely under-estimated as just an "odd black widow". The anti-venom is not only unavailable widely in the US but is different of an anti-venom than the American Black Widows. Spray the spider to death so you don't end up crushing the red back line and if your ever bit, quickly isolate the spider in a bag or some jar or something and take it with you to the hospital!
Do daddy long legs spider bite?
Daddy long legs do bite. They are not harmful to humans, and contrary to popular belief are NOT the most venomous spiders around. People believe that they can't bite people because of their uncate fangs, but the brown recluse (which IS harmful to humans) also has uncate fangs.
Also, the term daddy longs legs refers to three different types of bugs - one is the cellar spider, one is the harvestmen, which is an arachnid, but NOT a spider, and the other is the Crane fly.
The bite from a cellar spider produces a short lived burning sensation.
The myth about them being "the most venomous spider, but they can't bite humans" was debunked by MythBusters and Bill Nye the Science Guy

Spiders - The causes of wet molting are unknown. It is relatively rare so it is not well documented or understood. Some theories are:
1. the molting may occur before the new exoskeleton is sufficiently mature, so the body fluids leak out.
2. injuries to the spider's new exoskeleton that are partially healed leak.
3. enzymatic/nutritional deficiencies result in incomplete formation of the new exoskeleton
Any or all of these, or other factors yet unknown may play a role in wet molts.

Are brown recluse spiders found in North Carolina?
yes
well i guess that depends on the damn brown snake your talking about. there are 4 different varieties. all of them ARE venomous except for the Northern Brown Snake, which i have 4 of. the northern browns located in the northern sect of british Columbia, Michigan, and Wisconsin are definitely NOT venomous. they eat primarily slugs, soft bodied insects, small salamanders, and most of all earthworms (which i feed mine, n boy do they love em)
so yes... MOST brown snakes are, but the northern brown snakes are not. you must be able to distinguish which snake you are referring to and identify it properly, and likewise, people that answer these questions must be able to answer them in more than simple one word answers when a vague question like this is asked. but there you have it. a fair and complete answer.
