Are there any deadly spiders in the United States?

Answer 1

While every spider uses venom to catch its prey, only one spider native to Florida has the potential to kill pierce human skin, and cause a life threatening envenomation -- that is the Black Widow. That being said, while there are bites from this spider in Florida (as we see here at the Poison Control Center), in the most recent year that we have statewide data (2008), there were no deaths from any venomous animal. So, while people do get bitten, they generally seek treatment and receive the necessary care in time. While there are confirmed bites of the Brown Recluse in the state, this spider has not been demonstrated to live in South Florida, rather it is brought here in freight and on shipped goods. As far as we know, there has not been an established breeding population of the Brown Recluse in Florida. Its habitat is known to include the central Southern US, and a second slightly different species is native to the Southwest, including parts of California.

The black widow and the brown recluse are the poisonous native Spiders in the US. I do not know which is the most poisonous. Their poisons work in different way and individual sensitivity differs.

Answer 3

Daddy Long Leg Spider is the deadlest BUT there fangs are two small and curved to bite you.

Counterpoint:

The above is considered to be an urban myth. Both arachnid researchers and Mythbusters have produced solid evidence that the bite of the daddy longlegs spider is not harmful to humans at all, regardless of the delivery methodology.

Answer 4

The spiders that are deadly to humans in North America are the Black Widow, easily recognizable by the red hourglass shape on the underside of it and the body being a shiny black, and the Brown Recluse, which has a fiddle/violin shape on its back and is a light brown with the mark being a dark brown. Brown Recluse bites are the deadliest.
