This image shows a brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, resting on a torn piece of paper. This species is distributed throughout North America. Although envenomation is rarely fatal, bites may result in localized tissue necrosis with delayed wound healing and minimal scab formation. See PHIL 2224 and 24370 for additional views of this venomous spider.
