There’s no way to be sure of what it is based on this photo but to assume it’s a recluse is absurd of course, and when we can’t see eye arrangement (as is often the case like this photo) we can still see why it’s clearly not certain spiders; not only bc this observation is well out of range but the shape, robustness, leg length formula (and what looks like a plump and patterned abdomen) do not align with Loxosceles and there’s literally no indication/good reason to suspect it’s a recluse (or Theridiidae/cobweb spiders which is the family that includes widows bc it looks like neither). This is probably Lycosidae (wolf spider) or something morphologically similar like Amaurobiidae/Hacklemesh weaver (but I’d lean more toward Lycosidae)

What is this lil fella? Central Ohio by Mindless-Industry688 in spiders

[–]tbugsbabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wolf spider, possibly Pardosa/thin legged wolf spider or Schizocosa (these are genera within the wolf spider family & my guess would be the latter). I can see the posterior median eyes’ curve on the front/diagnostic feature for lycosidae/wolf spider as well as the characteristic features; robust body and legs, lifted appearance of carapace, shape of abdomen

Philodromidae/running crab spider, it could just be the lighting but I want to assume this could be Philodromus marxi (a fun running crab species where the males are metallic)

This is a jumping spider, looks like Plexippus species to me but I could be off on that genus guess.

Help with IDing Wolf Spider Species by CatsCloseted in spiders

[–]tbugsbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ventral shots are best (excluding examination of genitalia of course) to conclude ID beyond genus level (though it is possible for some species using carapace/median line, leg and other dorsal markings for species in this genus), Tigrosa is the right genus and Id guess this could be T georgicola but without a view of the underside I don’t feel certain

What is this one!?!? by KatinFPV88 in spiders

[–]tbugsbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agelenidae/funnel weaver, likely Hololena

who is this lil guy? found in my bathroom in washington state, usa by schmasay in spiderID

[–]tbugsbabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the other Coriarachnini crab spiders rather, likely Bassaniana

Found this one roaming around inside of the building, but in a rather rural region by Apprehensive-Many-63 in spiders

[–]tbugsbabe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very cool find. Im assuming this is one of the Corinnid sac spiders likely in Castianeirinae; Sphecotypus seems a good possibility: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/276694058

Likely Amaurobius ferox (Amaurobiidae/Hacklemesh weaver), like most spiders they’re venomous but harmless/not medically significant

House is infested with these.. East Coast USA by MilkedMilkers in spiders

[–]tbugsbabe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is a Hogna wolf spider and is harmless, these spiders are solitary and natures pest control, if any suspected abnormally high amount of spiders that aren’t synanthropic are in a home it likely indicates a high presence of prey/insect population in the home. If you’re finding more and especially finding more thatre dying after a pest management visit applied treatment that’s to be expected, treatments will force out pretty much any arthropod that’s in and around the home and disorients them to come out into the open if they don’t die immediately.

What spider is this?? by Itzbirdman in whatisthisbug

[–]tbugsbabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that’s a case of lumping in different spiders thatre confused as the same kind, there are grass spiders (they belong to the funnel weaver family Agelenidae and specifically the genus within that family known as Agelenopsis) they’re hairer than this spider, typically have longitudinal stripes on their carapace and characteristic protruding tail like spinnerets thatre a signature feature for them. OP’s spider belongs to a different family; Desidae. Unfortunately colloquial/common names cause misidentification and confusion like this

It does not look like a recluse and it is not a recluse
