Do you know how to identify a Brown Recluse Spider?

Although this is an accurate picture of a recluse, there are some color and pattern variations, and juveniles are even harder to identify. A large recluse would be about the size of a quarter, including its legs. The violin on the head region is very tiny and you have to be close to see it! Notice how difficult it is to see the "violin" even in this close-up photo. Always call a pest professional, dont risk getting bit.
