Comments & ID Thoughts
Found several of these tiny spiders under spa cover. I am concerned that they are brown recluse because of what appears to be a violin shape on the head. They appeared to be babies and were very small less than 1/8" body length. Can you please tell me if you think they are a brown recluse?

I found several of these spiders around my spa in Gilbert Arizona. They were tiny and appeared to be babies (less than 1/8″ body). I’m am wondering if anyone with knowledge can tell me if this looks like a brown recluse? It does have what appears to be a violin shape on its upper body/head. Please help, have small kids and need to know.
Hi, this is a Cellar Spider (Pholcidae). They’re not anything to worry over.
