So this is a brown recluse. note the 3 sets of eyes. ok.
we had a little fellow move in on the bathroom sink. i guess perhaps the bathroom is a nice neighborhood because we've got someone else at the ceiling corner just above the sink there. that guy has been doing well. i don't know why i assume they are male. AAanyhow, we have been joking that its a brown recluse and its markings are such that i was starting to wonder if the joke was accurate.

its not.
what we have, i don't know. its small and brown and has a white hourglass on its belly and white knee stripes.
its a mystery. the usual avenues of research turned up little more than "possibly a brown widow" and "JUST KILL IT"
neither of which are suitable to my needs. i'm pretty sure its not a brown widow. doesnt have that widow shape.
as long as it stays there in its web by the sink i think we can get along. i hope it has success in catching enough to eat.
