Loxosceles reclusa - Brown Recluse
University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS
I did NOT know what this was when I was taking pictures of it from about 5 inches away. It was only later when going through spider families that I came upon the family Sicariidae, or Six-eyed Spiders, and that's when my stomach kind of flipped over. I'd heard of that family before, and the only thing I could ever remember hearing in relationship to it is that it's the family to which the Brown Recluse belongs. *shiver* I caught this guy and am saving him for my spider bio class this fall.
