Brown Widow Spider

Latrodectus geometricus - Male
Tigertown Shopping Mall
Opelika, Alabama

NOTE: It is recognized that this particular species of widow is most
likely not medically significant (not an immediate medical concern to those who are bitten).
The brown widow produces clinical effects similar to that of the black widow but the typical symptoms
and signs being milder and tending to be restricted to the bite site and surrounding tissues.
See Bugguide.net for more information:

The reaction to a widow bite can be painful, and the victim should go to the doctor
immediately for treatment.
