The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider
Please be careful.
Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.
They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.
If you have a need to be in your attic, go up there and turn on a light
and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work.
This little spider is all around us. I actually killed one at a clients house while on an insurance visit in July of 2005. It was in a chair that my client was sitting in, They apparently did not use the room often, and it ran across his leg and tried to hide in a crevice in the chair.
