The Recluse Spider falls under the Animal kingdom and the Arachnid class, making it a distant relative to other spiders, scorpions, mites, and ticks. This particular spider is known for its venomous bite, which contains a cytotoxin that can cause necrosis in humans, earning it a place among Venomous Animals. Recluse Spiders are typically found in warmer climates and tend to build their webs in secluded areas, such as woodpiles, sheds, or crawl spaces, which is why they're often referred to as "Recluses." They are usually identified by a violin-shaped marking on the top of their cephalothorax, leading some species to be called "Fiddleback Spiders" or "Brown Recluse Spiders." Despite their venomous bite, Recluse Spiders are generally shy and non-aggressive, only biting when provoked or accidentally trapped against the skin.
