Yes, but from what I've read, this was most likely not a Brown Recluse.
The description doesn't match: only two sets of eyes, and no "fiddle"
markings on the body. Also, they are found primarily in the midwest of
the US.
I don't kill any creature unless it is presenting an imminent danger.
This was just a big, harmless, hairy spider that wanted to go about it's
business eating stupid bugs. And from the looks of it, this one spider
was probably keeping my garage free of stupid bugs single-handedly.
Now if I could only have trained her to go after ants I would have kept
her around :)
