Scroll down to spiders at this Marion County link.That spider looks exactly like a brown recluse-very dangerous.

That's good. I thought you were going to say it was taking care of bugs in the big spider web in the sky!


The Brown Recluse is native here too. It's smaller and has a distinct violin shaped mark on the back of its thorax, hence the name "Fiddleback Spider." I am no expert, so I'm not sure it's a wolf spider, but I'm pretty sure it's not a brown recluse. You definitely don't want to swim with one of those!

I totally agrre. The Recluse has that name for a reason - they hide in dark places like crawl spaces under homes or in dark closets. We had them plenty in Southern Oregon.

Spiders, being that large, can be stepped on or ran away from ..
They don't bother me as much as ants harvesting aphids for 'milking' or consuming their excrement on my orchids! ..
Now that totally grosses me out!

Definitely not the brown recluse

As for the Wolf Spider: they are shy and will run away, they don't make webs...instead they hunt at night for food.

In the past few days, I've had half of each Ctna Why Not bloom eaten away during the night (8 blooms, all 1/2 gone!) and today I woke up to find 1/2 of the first NOID reed-stem Epi bloom that I've been waiting a very long time for gone!

Wondering if the newly relocated critter had anything to do with that
