According to Dr. G.B. Edwards, an arachnologist with the Florida State Collection of Arthropods in Gainesville, the brown widow venom is twice as potent as black widow venom. However, they do not inject as much venom as a black widow, are very timid, and do not defend their web.

Would a black widow or a brown recluse win a fight?

the brown recluse would win because of the scaring and the blue red discoloration: answer- actually I just put these two spiders in the same container and watched them fight to the death. The brown recluse didn't really do anything, but the black widow spun its web and when the brown recluse got stuck inside of i, it was game over.. the black widow attacked the brown recluse by stabbing it with it's back legs and then bit it multiple times. Now the black widow is posted up in the corner of the container full.
