There was one of these under the hose when I watered a few weeks ago. That was the time I decided it would be a good idea to spray off the holder thingy on our garage wall every time I water.

How do they compare with the brown recluse spiders though? Quick death? More intense agony?

The Black Widow is considered the most venomous spider in North America.

The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the venom of the prairie rattlesnake.

Black Widow spiders are not usually deadly, especially to adults, because they inject only a small amount of venom.

Only the female Black Widow is venomous; males and juveniles are harmless..
