just did some research its called Brown Widow, still this spider is bad ass! read this also

They say the Brown is more toxic than the Black!

The brown widow spider is rapidly expanding in California.

A U.C. Riverside researcher predicts the pest may move into Central California this summer.

Brown widow spiders are native to Africa but were found in Southern California in 2009. Researchers say the agricultural community should be worried. The spiders could pose a problem for farm workers if the pests take up residence in fruit orchards. Brown widows could also congregate in agricultural shipping containers or packaging.

Brown widow spider venom is more toxic than black widow venom, but scientists say brown widows are less likely to bite. Instead, they curl up, and play dead when disturbed.

Of course Ive seen those! Theyre one of the 2 most venomous spiders in Japan. (Its called "haiirogokegumo") The two are "seakagokegumo" (black widow and the "haiirogokegumo" (Brown widow as you call it).

There is a similar spider that is NATIVE to the southeast united states, known as the Gas Station Spider, but it is FAR less venomous than the black widow...
