I agree. It just looks one of the wolf spiders to me. -----Original Message----- From: pestlist@museumpests.net [mailto:pestlist@museumpests.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 12:03 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] RE: Spider ID
Hi Megan, There are others on the list who can probably give you a positive id, but I'm 99% sure it's not a brown recluse. I have long experience with brown recluses, having lived in an old house near the woods most of my life, and am pretty good at identifying them. They're thinner, more streamlined, with long, thin legs, and a different kind of mark on the back. Take care, Sandy -----Original Message----- From: pestlist@museumpests.net [mailto:pestlist@museumpests.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 1:29 PM To: pestlist@museumpests.net Subject: [pestlist] Spider ID Hi everyone, I need some help identifying this spider. My worry is that it is a brown recluse. (Eep) However, I have never seen one for myself, and the internet is less than helpful. Please help if you can!
