Loxosceles Reclusa
May 22, 2008 — 112 comments

This is a Brown Recluse spider I caught in the basement of the studio where I work. As you can see, they are about the creepiest looking things you could imagine, and the fact that they’re always hiding means they could be anywhere at any time. When you consider the dermonecrotic ulcers caused by their bite, knowing that they are around is not pleasant.
Most people claim to be able to identify a Brown Recluse, but actually have no idea. People in California still think they exist out there, but they never have and still don’t. For future reference, the way to identify them is to look for three things: 1.The dark fiddle shape starting at the front of the head moving toward the back. 2. Instead of eight eyes like most spiders, they have three pairs of eyes spaced across the head 3. Their legs and abdomen are a solid color with no markings. Once you know what they look like you can identify them pretty much immediately. No touch!!

Sweet dreams.
