Brown Recluse Spider

Dark, undisturbed areas like basements, attics, woodpiles, and closets.

Active nocturnal hunter feeding on small insects such as cockroaches and crickets.

Solitary and nocturnal, hiding in tight spaces and fleeing when disturbed rather than aggressively biting.

Possesses a necrotic venom causing severe localized tissue damage; benefits ecosystems by controlling pest insect populations.
