Brown Recluse spider

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.

Re: Brown Recluse spider

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

Re: Brown Recluse spider

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