Where does the brown recluse spider live?

0

These spiders have been reported throughout the United States but are found more often in the South. Spider populations live in certain natural geographical areas, but in our modern society spiders can be transported anywhere in the world overnight due to global freight and passenger transportation systems. Here is an informative article about a spider hunter in Los Angeles: “Spider Woman” by Burkhard Bilger. They are nocturnal hunters occupying dry, dark areas, such as attics, closets, and woodpiles. BRSs are not aggressive toward humans. Bites occur when the spiders are forced into contact, such as when a person is cleaning out the attic or rolls over on it in bed. Most people do not feel the bite and never see the spider. Note: The “Loxosceles reclusa” is a native of South America.
