That's not a brown recluse. It's a common house spider
(sorry i do not remember the scientific name),
EXTREMELY harmless :) We had them by the millions in
Texas and i have seen plenty of them down here in
Miami.
A lady was bitten by a brown recluse down here this
week and it actually made the news! You would think
that a place like Miami would have better news stories
available than that, but the level of ignorance and
fear of animals people seem to have in this part of the
country is amazing. Last year a guy found a small
(less than a foot) grass snake in his Christmas tree,
and that made the news as well. He actually called
animal control..hahaha. When i saw that i died
laughing. All i could think about was my 80 year old
grandmother killing 4 and 5 foot rattlesnakes in her
garden with a hoe and this 26 year old guy calls animal
control for a grass snake.
Sorry for going off topic...
