Description

Brown recluse spiders are a venomous spider located in North America. Brown recluse spiders only live by themselves as their name suggest, they are shy. Related to the Black Widow, if bitten by a brown recluse spider you’d need to be hospitalized. Only growing under an inch in diameter, this light brown spider can be seen with markings on their dorsal side. Brown recluse spiders only have 6 eyes compared to other spiders who have 8. They often look for dead insects because of their less eyes they cannot respond quick enough to hunt live food.
