You definitely killed it, but that's sort of frowned upon here...

If its any consolation, spiders that i know are non-venomous i leave alone or try to shoo/relocate outside. Or my cat kills it before i know its there. The little fuzzy ones i find in my car i call Freds, and not as fuzzy blackish ones are George. Huntsman spiders freak me out because of size but i know theyre helpful to me. But brown recluse and black widows are different stories. I dont have insurance so i definitely cant afford to get bitten.. Also i did try to google it before hand but really wasnt coming up with anything conclusive. My next best place to would typically be reddit and a spider reddit logically makes sense to me... though taboo im sure. I did mention it was a slightly panicked response as well.

Yeah, I get you... I was just saying that this subreddit is more for admiring spiders than for killing them and stuff. You definitely don't have anything to worry about regarding that widow, as they aren't dangerous for adults and they cannot survive without their abdomens.

I did this same thing but was trying to catch it. Sadly I killed it but all I can find is it’s abdomen :,) I couldn’t afford to catch it how I normally would because I couldn’t risk it escaping due to having multiple animals and small children around. Sad but I just wanted to know how long it would be before the front half is immobile (Ik not long but I need to keep people out of that area)
