Brown Recluse (Violin Spider) Missouri Department of Conservation

The name “violin spider” describes a characteristic marking on the brown recluse: there is a violin-shaped patch on the broad, almost heart-shaped cephalothorax (the head, as opposed to the abdomen). The overall color is usually a grayish yellow-brown, the oblong abdomen covered with fine gray hairs. The legs are darker than the body and are long and slim. Females are larger then males. The webs, associated with egg sacs, are small, irregular, and untidy. These spiders are usually seen walking or running around, not in a web.
