| The Brown Recluse, also known as the
Fiddler Spider, is approximately 3/8 inch long. They build a
loose sheet web, often under rocks or in buildings. The thorax has
a dark brown shape in the form of a violin or fiddle. Human
reaction to the bite of a Brown Recluse is variable, ranging from no
reaction to the formation of a severe ulcer around the bite area.
