Damn, what part of the country are u in?
The wrong part obviously.
Yes.
Now burn the house and the surrounding 10 acres to the ground. And then salt and lye the burnt remains.
If that's still not enough, go get a small nuclear warhead and make sure that thing is d-e-d. Dead.
Seriously, yes, that's a fiddleback. That's how you can tell it's a brown recluse without letting it bite you and awaiting the results of said bite. Fiddle on the back.
This is in Tennessee. Since 2008 when my parents built this home we have found many of them here, which is why I thought it was. I havent lived at this house in years, so it has been awhile since I have seen one. Wanted to confirm.
I’ve been bit by one. Get out of that house. Almost lost a leg.
This makes me squirm. I dont get scared of insects but brown recluse make me disgusted.
Damn. Yeah theyve been in this house for years. Only find one a year I feel like. I guess this year it was me that found it. I wish my cat wasnt trying to eat it!!!
Pull back and shake out your bedding before you set one little piggy in that bed.
Same with your shoes and clothes if you leave them laying out or thrown on the floor.
I'm serious.
Theyre really fast, for spiders. Would always come across tons of them moving firewood from the stack outside. Had to meticulous pick each piece up, rotate, inspect.
Theyre still just a bug that aren't fast enough to not catch a flip flop

I hope one crawls in your mouth tonight and lays its eggs on your uvula.
(i don't really mean that)
I’ve been bit on the waist/ass cheek and spent a couple of days in the hospital after surgery. Then weeks of going to the hospital for IV antibiotics for 1-2 hours a day. Couple of days prior the ER dr drained it by slicing and squeezing and I nearly passed out from the pain.
I can joke about it now but it was serious, painful, and miserable.

That sounds awful. It's amazing how much discomfort can come from something so small.
But enough about things my ex has told me...

Yep. Never, ever pick shit off the ground without gloves on and without looking first.
Yes. Classic violin marking on its head. Why it's also called a violin or fiddleback spider. Be sure to shake out shoes and clothing which haven't been worn in a while. Also get your home exterminated periodically as it kills the insects they feed on. Silverfish are a preferred meal.
Never, never, never stick your hand in anything in closets or attics that you haven't opened (storage boxes) before looking.

Yes. I has the violin image on its back.
A thought for the speech police - "brown recluse" is a very racist name for a spider. It offends people of color and defines them as feeble cowards who rarely interact with others. Any suggestions on a better name?

Listen here you little shit, the lighting was bad and a macro lens doesn't work well in bad lighting!
You couldnt even get it center frame.
Im gonna beat your ass. Youll learn how this all works. Then buy you a wine cooler of your choice.
I understand the lighting issue. My picture taking rivals your shitty picture taking. I was accepting you to the club.
Venomous terrorist that attacks in the dark
Hahah yeah I definitely understand that. Though I will say that due to the lighting and the spider reflexes still moving a little bit, getting the macro to focus actually was a challenge. I did have to move the camera in all funky ways to get it to focus haha. I will definitely take a wine cooler though.

It’s brown for sure. Ask it if it wants to go to a party this weekend. If it randomly comes up with some excuse not to go, it’s probably also a recluse.
Hope this helps.
