Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.

    I believe that’s a Brown Recluse. It appears to have the telltale fiddle on its back.

    I kind of hope I’m wrong though.

        Just looked it up. Southern US. Probably a recluse based on my bad internet research. No more hand handling. I yote one out the window into the bushes by hand last week. Whoops.

          Bruh that’s like the ONE spider you don’t touch growing up in the South haha. Their bites are insanely painful.

              I don’t know where in the southern U.S. you are, but definitely look up the dangerous animals for wherever you are living or visiting. In Florida, there are only 2 common dangerous-to-humans spiders, I believe: widows and recluses. There are a few snakes. Alligators are obviously dangerous, but you’re likely to know when you’re in an environment where alligators are likely to be. There are, of course, a number of potential dangerous marine animals. Stay safe, my friends!

          Dude, my bud got bit on his hip and he had an icecream scoop size hole excised and the a skin graft put over it from his ass. You don’t want them in your house.

              One of the worst things about existing is anyone can just say this cursed shit and you don’t get a choice. You have to imagine it. Thank you.
