The brown recluse spider is nocturnal, which means it searches for food during the nighttime hours. It is also a scavenger, preferring to feed on dead insects rather than live ones. If the brown recluse spider cannot find any dead insects, however, it will kill live ones, and it can travel quite a far distance from its web to find an insect to kill, often ending up indoors, where it will hide in items like shoes and clothing on the floor when daylight arrives.
