Recluse, woodlouse hunter, or other?
Oh my gosh, I think that MIGHT be a brown or desert recluse. The dark stripe down it’s back is characteristic of one. Did you happen to count the eyes? If it has 6, it’s likely a recluse. Don’t get bitten, it’s bite will hurt like the dickens. It may not rot, but it’ll hurt and could get infected. If it’s Dysdera, then it’s harmless. It’s definitely beautiful in a strange kind of way.
I’d like to know this one as well. I had one in my home today
