COMMON ARIZONA PESTS

Brown Spider or Violin Spider

They are brown in color with violin –shaped marking on neck of the violin points to the spider’s abdomen. They have three pairs of eyes. This spider is closely related to the highly venomous, brown recluse spider, which are both predatory arachnids. Brown spiders live under rocks, pieces of wood, and nests and burrows of other animals. As they prefer dark places-basements and garages can become their home. Constructs a sticky, sheet-like web for capturing small insects. Highly venomous, but not aggressive. A bite results in the death of tissue surrounding the initial wound. Bites most often occur because the spider has hidden itself in bedding or clothing, and is subsequently disturbed. There is no first aid just like the black widow bite from this spider. Call a physician immediately.
