Brown Recluse Spiders

Brown recluse spiders are common called fiddle-back spiders because they have a dark brown shape on their back in the shape of a fiddle. These spiders lurk in the shadows and don’t want to interact with anyone, hence the name recluse. Their bite is especially painful and usually require medical attention.
