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.
It might help to know your region on where you live to help get a better id.
More info and a photo to help you determine for yourself. The eye pattern is often the real tell if it’s a recluse or not: https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/brown-recluse-violin-spider
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’m from Canada hahaha. I don’t know the first thing about the southern US except if it rattles run.
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!
Also if it swims run (snake).
Ooh noted. What are those?
Water Moccasins and Coral Snakes are both assholes that have a mean venom and swim.
Don’t forget the necrosis.
Yup they’re just straight up carve a hole in your body.
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.
Imagine if it got your hand or head instead… or your butthole.
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.
I agree with that ID. It’s pretty spot on.
Brown recluse for sure. Just don’t make it mad - they’re quite non-aggressive and will run away, but they do have a nasty bite. Best to just let it be or relocate it if you can. They do be fast though
