They come out of the woodwork - mostly at night and wander around, usually staying close to the baseboard. Sometimes they get into pants that are left lying on the floor, or clothes hampers, etc. And sometimes in sofa cushions, etc. I have lots and lots of experience with them from when I lived in Edmond, Oklahoma. Lived their nine years, never bit. Here's a brown recluse. Note the "fiddle" or "violin" on it's upper body. This message was edited Aug 23, 2006 11:54 PM |
