Brown RecluseSpider

The Brown Recluse is a member of the spider family Loxscelidae. Other names for the Brown Recuse spider are Fiddleback and Violin spider because of the violin markings on the head and thorax.

It is called a Recluse spider because it likes to be hidden. They are 7mm long which is a normal size for a spider and unlike most spiders it has six eyes instead of eight.

The Brown Recluse spider is found in the United States and Chile. The female lays 50 eggs. Amazingly they can survive 6 months without food or water! The brown recluse is not a aggressive spider but it is very dangerous spider!!!

When bitten by this spider you will not notice for 2-3 hour but the bite is fatal.
