Well Brown Recluse spiders do come into CT but attacks aren't common. There are also documented attacks from Black Widow spiders in just about every state. The black widows can't survive the winter in the cold. Most likely, they came up in shipments of south american produce. Still, I don't like them and I avoid all spiders.

There are rattlesnakes in CT. I've seen them and heard them. The good thing about both the snakes and the spiders is they aren't looking for a fight. Most the time, they bite because they feel they are being threatened. When I'm hiking, I just watch where I step and listen for the rattles.

I don't blame Jaws for the killing of sharks. I blame people's ignorance. People assumed that all sharks are a menace. It has been proven that shark killings went up after Jaws came out. People are stupid, what can I tell you?
