Red Widow Spider
If you don’t like the type of common house spiders you get over here in the UK, you will like these particular inhabitants of Florida even less. These red widows are in fact related to the black widow, and like its cousin is believed to be venomous, although it seems that danger to humans is very small.
The females tend to be twice the size of the males, and like to hide in inland sand dunes in central and southern Florida. So while they don’t seem to pose much of a threat to us, it might still be worth having a look around if you plan on making a sandcastle on the beach just in case one of these took a wrong turn somewhere.
