Eek! Non-native poisonous spider found living in Oregon





The types of poisonous spiders that reside in Oregon have doubled.

State officials confirm that a brown widow spider was recently found, generally found in South Africa, Florida and southern California, which lives in Oregon City, in the northwestern part of the state.

It is not clear how it arrived or if there are more.

Tom Valente of the Oregon Department of Agriculture tells The Oregonian / Oregon that there is no reason to panic, but residents should be cautious.

State officials want residents to search their homes and other areas for brown widows. The spiders are brown and have a distinctive orange hourglass on the underside of their abdomen.

Oregon already has black widow spiders. Bites from any of the spiders can cause fever and muscle spasms.

Valente says that brown widows are subtropical and that cold Oregon weather will likely kill them.
