About Florida Spiders
Spiders are air-breathing arthropods with eight legs and fangs capable of injecting venom. They are the largest order of arachnids, with more than 43,000 known species worldwide. While most spiders are harmless, some species in Florida can pose health risks if disturbed.
Spiders are found on every continent except Antarctica and can thrive in almost any environment, from forests and grasslands to homes and businesses. Their segmented bodies, jointed limbs, and silken webs make them one of nature’s most fascinating predators.
Common Spiders in Florida
Florida’s climate supports a wide range of spider species. While most are harmless and help control insect populations, a few require professional management.
- House Spiders: Common in homes, typically harmless but often a nuisance.
- Wolf Spiders: Large, fast-moving hunters that don’t spin webs but can startle homeowners.
- Black Widows: Venomous species identified by their red hourglass marking; require caution.
- Brown Recluse: Potentially dangerous bites, typically found in dark, undisturbed areas.
