Arizona Brown Spider
The Arizona Spider, also known as the Brown Recluse Spider, is one of the only three common spiders in the US that actually have venom. The other two are black widows and brown widows. If bitten by any of these spiders, medical attention is necessary. But just because they are the only ones to produce venom in the United States, doesn’t mean if you are bitten by other spiders, you will not need medical attention. Bites from the Hobo Spider, Wolf Spider, and Jumping Spider may require a doctor visit.
