Yes it looks like a Brown Widow Spider!

I don't want to kill it, but I may have to move it to a field or something because there are kids around this property... They may just want to play with the plant and get an unwanted surprise!

What's interesting is it built a cave like den using the asparagus fern leaves, and I've never seen a Black Widow do anything like that. I thought Black Widows just used strands of web and stayed in dark places.... Never heard of a Brown Widow until now... Thanks!
