The Brown Recluse Spider constructs their webs in a 1 inch area of a dark place inside your home.
Webs can be found in the surroundings of a house; in trunks, underneath stones, inside wood holes, bricks, under roofing tiles, in shadow corners of garages, laundries, behind or inside furniture, etc. The spider is sedentary, nonaggressive, it lives hidden during daylight, protected by the dark, and only attacks human when it happens to be caught inside clothes at the moment a person is getting dressed, or while a human is sleeping because of a sleeping roll.
The spider web serves as a diurnal hiding place. The spider roams at night looking for preys. Their favorite ones are dead insects. At night, the males spiders also go in search for females in order to mate. The spider web also serves as a comb where the female brown recluse spider lays their eggs, which can be seen inside a web coat. The female lay between 40 to 50 eggs inside a coat of gray silk, approximately 2/3 inch long. Each spider can produce several coats with eggs in a monthly rate.
The BRS web is not made as an insect trap, as in the case of other spider. It is made for nesting porpouses only, and so it does not look as the typical circular spider webs found in gardens. The brown recluse spider web has no specific design, it looks as careless and randomly constructed. |
