That is definitely a brown recluse. Good call.

Crap. OK, thanks. I have personally seen some bites from these things, and they scare the shvt out of me.

I kill at least one of these a week, and the Raid gets a few more before I find them alive. I probably spray once a month, all over my apartment. Now, I am glad I do.

Crack rabbit, trust me. I have seen many a wolfspider near my home, and in it, and I can tell you that is NOT a wolf spider.

That is indeed a brown recluse.

Looks like a scout-class. The warriors usually wait and see if the scouts come back alive. If not, the warriors get hormone rages and bite anything that moves.

Good luck!

I'm :confused: now. The wolf spider looks "fatter" than the one I just killed.

Wolfspiders vary greatly in size..of course, because some are younger than others. Out at my new house construction site, I see tons of baby wolf spiders (really small and quick). In my current rental house I caught 3 fairly big ones not too long ago ( I made a thread about it).

A wolf spider will be more hairy than a recluse.

Without having a Macro shot of the dead spider I still reserve my judgement.

You mean you still don't admit that it is a brown recluse?
