Brown Recluse Spider

Found in undisturbed areas such as attics, basements, closets, woodpiles, and behind furniture.

Carnivorous, primarily preying on soft-bodied insects like silverfish, crickets, and cockroaches.

Nocturnal hunters that do not use webs to catch prey; they are known for their reclusive nature and fiddle-shaped marking.

High risk to humans; venom is necrotic and can cause significant tissue damage. Benefits include controlling indoor pest populations.
