:confused: um no. look at the head. Completely different. The shape of it's thorax (is that what it is? lol) is completely different. The color is lighter on the recluse, obviously.

Here is another pic of the recluse

They look nothing alike IMO.

Umm, we had brown recluse's all over the place, and that does not look like one at all.... watch out, they jump!
