Comments & ID Thoughts

I took this picture in a cave in SW Utah. It appears to have some attributes common with a Brown Recluse, however, Brown Recluse spiders are not known to be found in Utah. Any ideas?

Apparently the desert recluse Loxosceles deserta is found in the extreme south west of Utah. So it can’t be out ruled on the basis of geography. I’m afraid I’m not familiar enough with the recluse to say if it is or isn’t.https://extension.usu.edu/pests/schoolipm/structural-pest-id-guide/desert-recluse-spider
