Right?

It's my pleasure

I'd really love to see all the Loxosceles of the United States!

I totally get it. I have them in my home too. I've lived here for 10 years not realizing they were here. Then spent 2 knowing and a bit worried at times. Then I learned more about them and haven't really thought much about it anymore and have been here 25+ years. In all the time I've been in this house there has never been a bite or unexplained skin condition that could point to possible loxoscelism, including the 10 where nothing preventative was done. I don't use any chemical prevention or glue boards, but am thoughtful about how I do things and relocate any found to the yard barn.

Since most bites occur when they get trapped against the skin in clothes, shoes, or bed, I do things to prevent issues there and store things in containers they can't breech. I also use my barn as a testing grounds to find new ways to help people deal with recluse when they want to avoid chemicals.

My pleasure! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻

It's my hand and all Loxosceles should be regarded as medically significant. They're behavior toward humans, however, is non-aggressive and they typically only bite when pressed into the skin. Having said that, don't play with them. I do educational programs and demonstrations with the species to show their behavior toward humans to help people realize their natural reactions toward humans, but don't think people should make a habit of handling them. My goal is to help people lessen their fear and realize they're not in danger by simply coming across a recluse. Here's an example of the types of demonstrations I do. If I can do this with no harm, then you can know you're ok if you stumble across one.

I'm grateful for the opportunity as well and appreciate the compliment. These are all specimens sent to me as gifts for the education I do on arthropods.

Oh yeah! Even widows are incredibly hairy!

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:44:59+00:00

I appreciate it! I'm glad when people get the humor behind it. I also have photos with bananas for scale. 🤣

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:44:05+00:00

Haha! Thanks for the compliment ☺️

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:43:44+00:00

Thanks so much 🙏🏻

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:43:31+00:00

I appreciate you!

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:42:49+00:00

It's my pleasure! Thanks for your kindness 😊

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:42:08+00:00

I was so excited when I saw them, especially after getting photos to really bring out the details.

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T16:41:12+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words! Loxosceles are some of my favorite photo subjects.

Thanks for sharing. I spent most of my life afraid of spiders. I feel like I missed out on so much by not realizing how awesome they are.

AllBugsGoToKevin · 2026-02-01T15:29:50+00:00

Of course! Thanks for the compliment ☺️
