No joke:

I was at the local library talking to some kid. All of the sudden a large brown reclouse runs onto his shoe and up his leg (outside on his jeans). I saw it, hit it, stomped it.


Yes, I'm sure it was a reclouse - I've been bit by one, and I live in reclouse country. . .

Somehow I seriously doubt that. Recluses aren't generally the kinds of spiders that just run around out in the open, in light, and onto peoples' legs. I don't think you know what a recluse looks like :)

I do realize that - I'm not denying it was odd . . .

From your website "...Extension receives numerous spider specimens that homeowners mistakenly suspect to be the brown recluse. Media attention and public fear contribute to these misdiagnoses."

I actually like spiders, but the BRS freaks me out. I lived in a townhome that was infested with them.

I love ppl that don't read much. That is the state of Ohio - clearly not in the area - I am in Arkansas - smack dab in the area where they are. The article wasn't important - the pic is what I was referencing.
