Identify
Adult Brown Recluse spiders
are yellowish-tan to dark
brown. They have long,
thin gray to dark brown
legs covered with very
short, dark hairs. Both
male and female spiders
are similar in appearance
and are equally venomous.
The most distinguishing
mark on a brown recluse
spider is the presence
of a dark brown or black
violin or fiddle on its
back with the violin's
"neck" pointing
toward the rear of its
body. For this reason,
they are sometimes called
"violin spiders"
or "fiddleback spiders".
Characteristics
The Brown Recluse is regarded
by some as more dangerous
than the Black Widow spider
because it is considered
a house spider and isn't
as simple to identify.
The
Brown Recluse spider will
lunge and bite the prey
in a vulnerable area and
immediately back away
while the venom acts to
quickly paralyze them.
The spider then moves
in to feed. The same venom
that acts to liquefy an
insect's innards for consumption
also causes the "flesh
rotting" appearances
as shown.
During
the day, Brown Recluse
spiders spend their time
in quiet, undisturbed
places. If they are seen
roaming during the day,
pesticide applications,
hunger, overcrowding or
a desire to find a mate
has probably brought them
out. Sometimes they will
be discovered trapped
within a smooth surface
such as a bathtub or sink.
But because they are primarily
nocturnal, they will typically
begin to stray from their
hiding place about an
hour or two after dark.
This is when they spend
their time hunting for
food. This explains why
many bites occur while
victims are sleeping.
While they are hunting
for food, they may crawl
up onto a bed and bite
when the victim inadvertently
rolls onto the spider
during normal sleep movements.
Brown
Recluse spiders are remarkably
resilient and can survive
6 to 12 months with no
food or water and have
an average life span of
2 to 4 years. In laboratory
conditions, they have
lived as long as 7 years.
