Oh my friend, I am SO very familiar with that species. Here in the desert, we have them as well as their cousins, the black widow. All very poisonous. I am NO fan of spiders at all! Hate the little buggers!! My mother-in-law was bitten by a brown recluse some ten years ago. STILL has problems because of it! A dear friend of mine DIED after being bitten while working in a bar! They are nasty!
On a more pleasant note, I am STILL laughing after watching the "Mexican Americans" video you posted on the Old Timers Thread!!! HAAHAHAHAA!!!! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, May 08, 2009 9:36:17 AM)

While not really awake yet (prolly going back to bed!), I MUST go back to the spider topic. Here in the south USA we have the famous brown recluse spider. Venomous as all get-out! Google it if you want some horrible photos. They are all over the place here and, sadly, fill my house as it is big and wooden! Their perfect habitat.
Flesh eating venom that can kill you? Never seen THAT kind of thing in the north. Ah well, at least there are no cockroaches. Voila ici. The brown recluse (aka. fiddleback because of the upside-down fiddle on its body).
