Only the female black widow is posionous. The name comes from the fact that after mating, the female usually devours the male. The male is about half the size of the female, is a brownish color, and is not posionous.

What eats the brown recluse spider?
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.

You found a spider in your home and its brown in color how do you find out what kind of spider it is?
You would first have to check the size of the spider. If it is a huge spider, it is obiously a tarantula. (Depending on location, very unlikely that it is a tarantula) If it is small, check for violin-shaped markings on the abdomen (the 'violin' markings of the brown recluse are on the cephalothorax where the legs are attached). If there are, the spider is a brown recluse. Depending on location, size, body shape, coloration, web or not, and where in your house, it could be any number of harmless spiders. A more detailed description would yield more information. ---------------------------- If it has a violin on it's back, kill it immediately! It's a Brown Recluse (A.K.A. The Violin Spider). The Brown Recluse has an acid-like venom that melts skin tissue, muscle & fat. If it's fuzzy, kind of large, & somewhat bright, also kill it immediately. It's a Wolf Spider. Their venom isn't deadly, or nearly as toxic as the Violin Spider, but their bites are very painful, they swell, they itch, & in some cases, can make you nauseous.

What spider has light tan almond shaped thorax with small dark brown head?
This needs some clarification to answer. Is it about a quarter to three-quarter inches long? Does it have a more slender body? If so, please stay away from it! There is a possibility it is a brown recluse spider. The brown recluse has what is called a "fiddleback" on its cephelothorax. It is a dark brown/black line, basically. Also, the brown recluse has only six eyes, which makes it distinct from most other spiders. In all actuality, if you can make out either of those distinctive features, you are way too close to it. A brown recluse bite isn't always felt upon first being bitten. The venom they produce causes necrosis, or flesh death. Basically, around where you were bitten, your skin dies and you have giant lesions of flesh. There is no known antivenin.

How does the brown recluse spider protect itself?
The spider gets its name because it loves to hide. To defend itself from potential predators, it bites the assaulter. If you live in a prominent area of brown recluse spiders, then you should be aware of its preferences for nutrition. A brown recluse spider hunts for prey during the night hours. It bites its prey, leaves it for dead, and then returns later to recover the corpse. The brown recluse spider will eat anything from small insects (like grasshoppers) to other spiders. Keep your home pest-free, keep the laundry off of the floor, keep your attic and basement clean, recycle old cardboard boxes, and seal any crevices in your home. This will help you fight off any infestations from these spiders and any other insect.

What a brown recluse eats?
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.

What if your husband came home with 4 inch bruise with what looks like a bug or spider bite in the center of it how do you treat it?
Ice it and if it gets any worse it may be from a brown recluse or black widow. Be sure that the "bruise" is really a bruise. If he was bitten by a brown recluse, it may already be necrotizing and needs to be taken care of by a doctor.
