They are like all Spiders- they eat insects. They much prefer to eat dead cockroaches and insects rather than alive ones, so killing their food is doing them a favor. Even if the cockroach or other insect is dead for about two months the Recluse spider will still eat them.

Here are some good links about a Brown Recluse spider:

http://insects.tamu.edu/extension/bulletins/l-1787.html

(This one is about different spiders, including the Brown Recluse. So just go straight to the Recluse spider information or you can read about the different spiders and their bites)

http://www.pocanticohills.org/spiders/spiders2.htm

(Just click on the Brown Recluse spider, or any spider you want to know more about)

http://www.termite.com/spider-identification.html (This is really good)

http://www.spiderzrule.com/dangerous.htm (Teaches about spiders, so if you just wanna know about the Recluse just go down to that section)

DO NOT, I REPEAT NOT! USE WIKIPEDIA! ANYBODY CAN JUST COME AND WRITE ANYTHING THEY WANT TOO. IF YOU DO USE IT, MAKE SURE ALL THE INFORMATION THERE IS ALL TRUE BY RESEARCHING WHAT THEY SAY!
