Spiders are an extremely large and diverse group with thousands of species. While most spiders are harmless a few are dangerously venomous. Spider identification can be very tricky, however, you may be able to figure identification by comparing your specimen to a drawing or photograph or looking for key identifying markings.
What's important for most people is to be able to accurately identify the poisonous or venomous species that occur around where they live. In the Arizona the species most commonly blamed for venomous bites are the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider.
The brown recluse spider is a small brown spider with a violin shaped marking on its head, and the black widow is a black spider with a red hour glass shaped marking on its abdomen. Once you learn to recognize and avoid these venomous species, you can be more cautious to prevent being bitten.
