TYPES OF SPIDERS
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders will only bite when provoked and their venom is not very harmful to humans. You may exhibit some redness or swelling but no serious medical problems.
Brown Recluse (LOXOSCELES RECLUSA)
Brown Recluse spiders are usually ¼ inch to 1 inch long and are light to medium brown. These spiders are usually have markings on the dorsal side with a black line coming from it that looks like a violin with the neck of the violin pointing to the rear of the spider. Brown Recluse Spiders build irregular webs. They frequently build their webs in woodpiles, sheds, closets, garages, cellars and other places that are dry and generally undisturbed. In the home, Brown Recluses can be found in shoes, inside dressers, in bed sheets of infrequently used beds, in clothes stacked or piled or left lying on the floor, inside work gloves or near any sources of warmth when ambient temperatures are lower than usual. The Brown Recluse bears potentially deadly venom.
