Brown Recluse spider

[fishman10]

I took these photographs of a brown recluse spider up close. We find these everywhere in our house in North Texas. Not a spider you want to get bit by. Its not really fatal, few if anyone dies from a bite, but the bite does rot the flesh away and will leave lots of bad memories.

Thing about these guys is they are harder to recognize than Black Widows and that in my opinion makes them even more dangerous.

Really nice shots. Definitely a recluse. Good thing they aren't aggressive ;)

Interesting Photos, They almost look computer generated.
