Hello. i’d like to post more photos, not just this one. Those two were found in my bathroom. Underneath the basement there are around 10! The first one was crawling my arm but i don’t think it bite me. Are they brown recluses?

Hi, these look like male Cobweb Spiders (Theridiidae).

thanks for replying but… Are you sure? They look terribly similar to most of the brown recluses Pictures I’ve seen. How can I post more pictures For you to see both in detail?

If you have better images you can submit them in the same way. Unfortunately there is no option to link or share multiple images on one page at this time. Compare to a male Red House Spider, Nesticodes rufipes. http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=1677
