Are there black widow spiders in West Virginia?
Take a look at the underside of the spider. If it is a black or brown and carries a small red or orange glob of color on its underside, then it is a black widow. Females of the species are a shiny black in color and males are a dull brown. They are found in West Virginia in dark, moist area like piles of wood and crawl spaces. They are nocturnal and the females bit is poisonous. Thank you for using ChaCha!

About Spiders
Spiders are one of those creatures that most people prefer not to run across, yet these arthropods are an important part of nature. They are natural predators and help control the population of harmful insects. Spiders are generally harmless to humans, yet people have this almost instinctual fear of them. However, some cultures view the spider as a symbol of patience.
