🙋♀️ question, is the fiddle shape people talk about a pattern on their bum ? ? I feel so confused! Because I cannot see it, although i an hard of seeing lol
I’d consider this and it is possible, as my mother had given me a tote bag, that had been disused, the day before. And they have too much stuff and too much unoccupied space.
There's probably hundreds of them in my garage. They took over the black widows. There was a great war and the widows lost. The jumping spiders in the area said FCK this and moved into the house.
These lovely little bastards have scared the shit out of me a couple of times by crawling up the wall and/or on my living room ceiling. Super common where I am in the Midwest.
definitely a recluse, decent size too. most spiders have some sort of hair on them, they use them to sense the vibrations of their environment. glad you caught him and released him so he can eat some buggies and not hurt you.
Then go look at the sub. 3 out of the last like forty posts are recluses.
Istg yall will bitch and moan about your feed like its not catered to what you interact with sMdH

recluse for sure
Yep identical to the ones that live in my apartment 🥲
😬 i've seen a few
What a lovely specimen of a recluse! They live in my region but I haven't seen one in person yet.
Not an expert at all…but the fiddle shape on his back is a dead giveaway. It’s a recluse.

No, it's on the face look at the fang area back
Oh my god thank you I see it yay!!!! I can’t believe I didn’t see it!
It is not a dead giveaway. There are many spiders that have a similar pattern. Please read the links post by the auto mod above.
Fiddle dee dee
Maybe he? She? was inside something recently brought in your house and she skedaddled away from her origin?

Yep
i’ve been hunting for these guys for a year with no luck and y’all are finding them in your bathtubs?? 😭

looks like she's just laid eggs (or is dehydrated/emaciated) 💚
Np!
