Identify Recluse Spiders

What do Recluse Spiders look like?

Recluse Spiders, often recognized by the violin-shaped marking on their dorsum, are a group of spiders that prefer cozy, secluded areas. Typically, they are not aggressive and bite only when threatened, usually when pressed against human skin. They thrive in dark, sheltered places like closets, attics, and basements. Recluse Spiders are known for their necrotic venom, which can cause some issues, making it important to manage their presence in your home effectively.
