Wolf spiders are always fun, and found all across the U.S. Also try to catch some praying pantises, watching those eat is great.. Catch some crickets too. I suppose you'd know what those are for.

Pound for pound, black widow venom is more toxic than that of the recluse. The reactions to the bite are entirely different, and neither is pleasant by any means. The recluse bite can result in necrosis, but the widow's venom can result in nastier symptoms like respiratory failure due to it's effects on your nervous system. The popular opinion has been the recluse, but from a medical and toxicological perspective, the widow takes the crown. Being bitten by a brown recluse and not a widow does not make the recluse have a worse bite. Everyone who provided their experience of being bitten by a recluse has said that the recluse is worse. Without being bitten by both, the only way to determine which is worse is by comparing the toxicology of the venoms.
