Never heard of brown widows: are they venomous (as in deadly venomous) like black widows?

From what I have read, yes they are venomous but not as agressive as Black Widows.

No, these spiders are extremely aggressive when attacking prey, however, are of little concern to us as they rarely bite humans.
