Seamus - so where exactly are brown recluse spiders found these days?

We're not talking about a historical natural range any longer, are we? That would be like saying that someone couldn't have been stung by fire ants, because the fire ant's natural range (at least where they occured in nature before being spread around with the help of mankind) does not include Florida.

I have heard from people that they have gotten brown recluse spiders along with their cricket shipments on occasion. No, I have not witnessed that myself, but the people whom have told me that accurately described what they look like. Enough so that I had no reason to doubt their word.

And Dianne, yes, somehow I had reversed the numbers of the photos when I copied them up to my server and labeled them. Sorry... I have corrected that in the original message.
