More brown recluse paranoia...
My daughter and I were hanging out on her bed this morning after she woke up, and a spider (not huge, not tiny) crawled out of the comforter and up her arm. She jumped, though she didn't panic (she usually likes spiders, just as she clarified later, not ON her), I shooed it off, we took a look at it. It was very dark brown, not a type I recognized. I got it into a jar, put on a lid, and we started the investigation.
As far as I can tell, it's an "ant-mimic" spider. It looks something like this:
However, it looks enough like this that I'm not completely relaxed about the whole thing:
(Yes, that's a brown recluse.)
It's still in the jar and either dead or dying, which I feel badly about, but I'm not taking any chances with any potential brown recluses, no matter how small that chance may be (I really don't think that's actually it...)
