not totally true. Their family members are found in several other places...I've seen them. I used to live in the mojave desert. The desert recluse lives there. Hasn't been quite as studied as the regular brown but is capable of some serious damage. There is also the arizona recluse and some others. The brown recluse itself is found in large number in the south...lik texas, oklahoma, la, etc. there was just a report of some craziness I remember reading. Lady got bit a few times during a week. couldn't figure out why the hell she was getting bit like every night. They finally pulled the bed back. Like a 100 of those things behind the bed. like aracnophobia and ****.
I've seen some nutty crap living out in the desert. HUGE scorpions. Rattlers like a good 8 feet long. I never used to be scared. Now that I know better....damn nutty crap I did as a child....
I got bit by a black widow as a young child..like 5 or so. Got hospitalized. High fever. Don't remember much else of it.
Freakin snakes man...creap me out now. I remember my freshman year of high school my friends sister comes running in the house yelling about a giant snake...so me being stupid...I run outside full speed...don't know what it is...I see it and just freaking jump from on it...just missed it's head...it had just enough space to come around and bike me in the leg...got caught in my pants and I jump up and down and kicked it and it took off. Was like a 5/6 foot king snake or some ****.

man i got side tracked.
I was meaning to post to say you and your neighbors are crazy people. just pick up a giant rattle snake with a shouvel...I'd freaking blow it up or something..I watched this movie about rattle snakes that got effected by some nuclear waste or something...they were like crazy big and aggressive and what not....ever since then...snakes freak me out.
those black and yellow spiders are around the SC mountains quite a bit...they seem to like pine trees.
we were cutting down our christmas tree one year... I am running around...16 probably...trying to find the best tree....then whap. strait into one of those giant webs those things weave...damn spider was on my face. things are not small.

One of the lady here at worked called me out front yesterday, there was a cute little gopher snake sunning on the walk. I messed with it a little and he got all pissed off. They will mimic a rattle snake when pissed off. They vibrate their tail and will even flatten their head to give it a more triangle shape.
Never caught a rattler before, but my brother got bit by one once. That was exciting. haha
And I see you found one of the very rare 'Seven Legged Dust Bunny Spiders'
