Earlier tonight Loretta the cat was lying on top of Hugh's dresser, near where her food and water dishes are. I took her water to fill, and when I came back with the full glass, she was staring down at the floor to the side, at the base of the lamp. She sees all and knows all. She really does. The cats always do. If they are staring interestedly at something, it is bound to be a brown recluse or a scorpion. How do they know not to mess with them? Because they don't...they just watch.
A closeup of its 3 pairs of eyes, and its small pedipalps. Is it a female?
Note also that abdomen; are they always so large, dare I say swollen? Is it a female about to have a bunch of spider babies? One tidbit I have learned about recluses is that they are hunters, so don't build webs to catch prey; but they do build webs to have babies in. On. Whatever.
