The state of Florida houses about 60 spider species distributed throughout the northern, southern, and central parts of Florida, of which the most dangerous ones are the widow and recluse.
The two-striped jumping spider (Telamonia dimidiate) was rumored to be a deadly species, dwelling in Northern Florida, mostly under toilet seats, claiming the lives of people. However, later, it was said that this was nothing more than a piece of hoax news.
Common spiders: Spiny-backed Orb-weaver (Gasteracantha cancriformis), Banded Garden (Argiope trifasciata)
Largest spiders: Golden Silk Orb-weaver (Nephila clavipes), Yellow Garden (Argiope aurantia), and those of the Wolf (Lycosidae) family
