Brown Recluse

http://mdc.mo.gov
They are secretive, brown, and wear a distinctive, dark, fiddle design on their backs.
Brown recluse spiders occur in our area, but even where they are common, people don't often find them.
They prefer quiet nooks and crannies in buildings and woodlands.
And like all spiders, brown recluses avoid human contact.
In fact, the brown recluse might go entirely unnoticed, except that its bite can cause people serious medical problems.

Why does he say "Entirely unnoticed?" I see them all the time at my house. One crawled across my pillow right before I was about to lay on it. I see them more often than any other kind of spider.

Recluse at the end is a female and she looks to be full of eggs with that fat body.

Good close up shots, wished there was something to provide scale though.

one time i was at my friend's house, and we were looking for lizards there, and i lifted up this rug and a brown recluse jumped on my hand, but at the same time a lizard (anole) jumped out and ate it... a lizard could have saved my life

If you have an infestation of Brown Recluse Spiders the best thing you can do is get some Scutigera Coleoptrata (House Centipedes). The scutigera eat brown recluses and any other pests, sometimes you have to set a monster to catch a monster, call it an uneasy alliance. Their bite is much preferable to the bite of a brown recluse. When all your pests are gone, they disappear to.

i didn't heard "deadly" so i would get one as pet but since i've heard "they rather avoid human contact" i'd better do :)
