Wow, and my mom freaks out at the tiny spiders we get here! LOL. The other day the cat found a beetle and was playing with it. My mom was totally freaking out when I picked up the beetle. I'm like "what?". I wanted to let the cat eat it actually but was not sure how healthy that is. I know spider are bad.

Well, had it been something other than a brown recluse, I would have just let it roam. But brown recluse get the Raid, and I don't feel bad about it at all.

I don't think that's a brown recluse...

It is.

Not to doubt you, but the pictures don't look anything alike. The only commonality is they're both brown and have 8 legs.

It is.

is it some other species/family or something? It looks nothing like the ones they always warn you about. Those spiders are the ones that freak me out the most. We have some that look sorta like it, but not quite.

It's kind of like Ceiling Cat, but it's watching you masturbate with 8 eyes.

I've sent pictures of them to an "expect" who confirmed they are brown recluse.

I don't know. I'm still not seeing it. Here's a comparison...

Yeah, definitely doesn't look like that.
