It's highly unlikely that a Brown Recluse could grow to be that large in size. They normally resemble that of a wolf spider, and wolf Spiders rarely- if ever- grow that large. It is not impossible, as there are always exceptions in nature, however it's highly unlikely and I can assure you that you'll probably never witness it.
I would say probably as big as a regular spider would be
Brown recluse spiders are not considered good because their venom can be harmful to humans and pets. If you suspect you have a brown recluse infestation, it's best to contact a pest control professional to safely remove them from your home.
Sounds like a Black House/Window Spider, pretty rare but they are poisonous so stay away. Kill it with a big stick from a distance!
A Brown Recluse spider is typically light to medium brown in color with a violin-shaped marking on its back. It has a small body, about the size of a quarter, and its legs are long and thin. Brown Recluse spiders are known for their distinct eye pattern, with six eyes arranged in pairs.
The spider with a big brown ball on its back is likely a species of orb-weaver spider.
Depends on the species. A Goliath bird-eating spider can grow to have a leg-span (leg on one side to leg on the other) of a 30cm. On the other hand, a fully grown female European garden spider can have a leg span of 20mm (.3cm).
The goliath bird eating spider
The big hairy European spider you might be referring to is the Mediterranean recluse (Loxosceles rufescens). It has a venomous bite that can cause pain, redness, and tissue damage. It's important to seek medical attention if bitten by this spider.
A big white spider with brown, reddish legs might be a crab spider. Crab spiders like to live in outdoor areas where there is plenty of food for them, like in a garden.
Is it a white orb? In that case it would be an egg sack. If it is actually a white spot it cold be a wolf spider. I am sure another user could provide a more detailed answer but I have seen wolf spiders with white spots.
Brown recluse spiders typically have a body length of about 6-20 mm, with a leg span of up to 1-1.5 inches. They are relatively small compared to other spiders, but their venomous bite can cause serious health issues.
Go to your mom and ask her what she has for a bite like that. There is bite stuff you can put on it to help.
