Is it an immature Brown Recluse? We don’t have them here in cold New Hampshire, I’ve never seen one in-person.

Yes! It was extremely tiny. He’s on my bedsheet. That texture is the thread to give you an idea of how small it was. I had to zoom in just to check for the eyes. It was either a brand new sling or maybe had molted once.

Awww, they’re cute when they’re young. 🙂 Thank you for the photo, it adds diversity to our gallery of photos of the species. This is the species that we get the most questions about.
